The HBS Club of Greater New York has established a matching fund in memory of those who were lost and to assist those who are in need as a result of the September terrorist attacks. The club has set aside $10,000 to provide matching grants for alumni wishing to make donations to three New York charities that are helping the families affected by the World Trade Center attacks. A description of each organization follows.

Windows of Hope Family Relief Fund provides aid to the families of victims of the World Trade Center tragedy who worked in the foodservice profession throughout the entire complex.

The New York Police & Fire Widows' & Children's Benefit Fund assists the families of fallen New York City firefighters and police officers. It provides funds to families at the time of a death to assist with immediate expenses. In addition, the benefit fund distributes an annual check to each of the surviving families.

The New York Times 9/11 Neediest Fund accepts contributions to relieve the suffering of civilians' and rescue workers' families directly affected by the World Trade Center attacks.

To make a tax-deductible donation, write checks payable to one (or more) of the charities above. The club will forward donations and matching checks to the designated organization(s). If donations are made in a person's memory, please provide his or her name.
