Preparations Now

West Maui and Lahaina need our help. The people have lost their homes, businesses, and livelihoods. Thousands of people need our help. The entire town of Lahaina was lost. The people need food, shelter, medical supplies and services in addition to untold other goods and services. In addition to our own efforts, we will partner with other reputable agencies such as the American Red Cross to deliver help to those most in need. The American Red Cross, also known as the American National Red Cross, is a nonprofit humanitarian organization that provides emergency assistance, disaster relief, and disaster preparedness education in the United States.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to the cause that means so much to us.

We at Preparations Now are government-approved, and all donations are tax-deductible. IRS EIN 85-4086803.

GoFundMe.org is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 81-2279757). Its mission is to provide fast and effective relief to victims of disaster and to fund education and other charitable initiatives. Since 2017, GoFundMe.org has raised over $150 million, for distribution to nonprofit organizations serving the same mission, and to individuals who are part of the charitable class. It strives to eliminate the paradox of choice for donors by providing a centralized place to give, knowing that those dollars are disbursed to the right organizations and people. GoFundMe.org operated at a 96% efficient rate, meaning that $.96 on every dollar given, goes straight to delivering help, not our admin costs. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible to the extent permissible by law. Money will be given at the discretion of GoFundMe.org as the need arises.
