donations to assist the family
members of the victims of TWA
Flight 800.
“It’s not unusual for charity
pitches to be made in the wake of
disasters, suchas the TWA Flight
800 explosion. Such tragedies
often trigger an outpouring of
public support and concern,” said
Jere Bennett, president of 888.
“Donors are advised, however, to
carefully evaluate requests from
new, unfamiliar organizations,
nomatter how heart-felt the plea
for contributions.”
A group called the Families of
National Tragedies has distrib

nancial contributions to assist
the families of TWA Flight 800.

sponding to disaster appeals:
*Examine your optionsinstead
of giving to the first charity from
which you receive an appeal.
There will be a variety of relief
efforts responding to the diverse
needs of disaster victims.
*Be wary of appeals that are
long on emotion and short on
what the charity will do to ad
dress the specific disaster.
*Ask how much of your gift
would be used for the disaster
mentioned in the appeal, and
how much would to towards ad
ministrative and fund-raising
costs. :
*Find out what the charity in
tends to do with any excess con
tributions remaining after the
victims’ needs are addressed.
*Remember that there will be
opportunities to give in the fu
ture. The problems caused by
the disaster won’t disappearonce
the headlines do. *
Don’t touch
that snooze
button!
