Our Fundraising Objective

With the support from Idaho Senator Jim Risch and several other members of
congress, the JRM Foundation for Humanity has issued the following challenge
to President Obama:
If we, the people, raise $1 million in donations (see last section for details), the
U.S. Government will contribute $100 million to the human cause in Nepal for
disaster relief, via our Nepalese non-profit partners to circumvent corruption and
bureaucracy.
So far, we have surpassed $170,000 and with the support of the rotary club, we
are on track to more than double that number in the coming week.

Objective Summary
Surpass the current $1 Million fundraising goal for $100 Million challenge
Campaign to raise local, national and international awareness of the
developing humanitarian crisis in Nepal
Support and coordinate with non-profit organizations working directly with
the Nepalese people, focusing on logistics, education and awareness, human
trafficking prevention, medicine, sanitation, PTSD & disaster counseling
Focus on reporting to the public, and document the ongoing situation
Form an appropriations committee, comprised of various members in the
U.S. working in coordination with the teams in Nepal to mobilize resources
based on the needs of the affected communities
Catalyze the rehabilitation of severely affected communities
Our objective is to prevent the situation in Nepal from deteriorating into one
like Haiti, therefore we are concentrated on raising awareness about Nepal
to continue to coordinate a sustainable, long-term effort
