donations, helping victims get necessary assistance, and long-term
rebuilding efforts. For at least the next 90 days, all donations to the
Corporation’s Disaster Relief Fund will be directed toward the Hurricane
Katrina Volunteer Support Fund to support relief and rebuilding efforts
in the impacted areas.
