The VMware Foundation has launched a special matching campaign for the April 2016 earthquakes in Ecuador and Japan. Donations from VMware people to the projects on this page will be matched 1:1 up to $3,141.59 (in addition to regular annual matching limits). By using your VMware email at checkout, your donations will be automatically matched by the VMware Foundation through May 20, 2016 – there is no need to request the match separately. Please email foundation@vmware.com with any questions.

How GlobalGiving Approaches Disaster Relief | GlobalGiving sends funds to both multinational organizations and local nonprofits to support immediate disaster response efforts. In the longer term, they work mostly with local NGOs to rebuild and develop the affected areas. Their experience has shown that local organizations who were there before the disaster continue to be there after to contribute to the community’s transition from recovery to reconstruction to development. All of the organizations below have been vetted by GlobalGiving to determine their legitimate, charitable status wherever they are registered.
