ANYONE CAN GO TO DIRECTAIDINTERNATIONAL.ORG AND MAKE A DONATION THROUGH PAYPAL.

DIRECT AID INTERNATIONAL HAS A VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND ASSISTANCE WITH OUTREACH, BUDGET MANAGEMENT, AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT. DIRECT AID INTERNATIONAL IS INDEPENDENT OF ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION. DIRECT AID INTERNATIONAL RECEIVES FUNDING FROM A RANGE OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS. THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR 2024 IS AFFECTED BY A LARGE ANNUAL DONATION FROM AN UNRELATED PRIVATE FOUNDATION, A PORTION OF WHICH IS REQUIRED TO BE EXCLUDED AS PUBLIC SUPPORT PER THE EXCESS CONTRIBUTION CALCULATION ON PART II, SECTION A, LINE 5 OF SCHEDULE A. LARGE FOUNDATION DONATIONS MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF THE SUPPORT FOR DIRECT AID, BUT THESE FOUNDATIONS ARE IN NO WAY RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATION OR ITS VOLUNTEER BOARD. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO RECEIVES MANY SMALLER DONATIONS EACH YEAR FROM A VARIETY OF INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION.
