Haiti's recent political turrmoil, as well as accusations that some money raised following the 2010 earthquake never reached those in need, will make fundraising for the nation even tougher, nonprofit groups and philanthropy experts say.
. However, the Caribbean nation’s political unrest, as well as an approaching tropical storm, is complicating efforts.
“The assassination of the president, the almost gang-like existence there, it really increases the risk to organizations like ours that deploy into this situation,” delaCruz said. However, Team Rubicon, which was founded in 2010 by Marines Jake Wood and William McNulty in response to the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, has experience on the ground in the country and in similar situations around the world.
Despite the criticisms the Red Cross has received, Maryam Zarnegar Deloffre, an expert in humanitarian aid and professor at George Washington University, believes donors will continue to rely on the organization because of its reputation. “We definitely do not want another film titled ‘Where Did The Money Go’?” Bastien said, in reference to the 2012 documentary that looked at donations given to Haiti relief following the 2010 earthquake.
