How this post will be used on March 20th from 6pm, Japan time

Wwill be actively working through this blog to organize MBAs and others willing to volunteer all around the world to truly make a difference for those affected by this terrible tragedy.

We are meeting to bring together MBAs and other volunteers who wish to contribute to helping those affected by the earthquake. We will discuss the following topics:


  • If you are interested in being part of MBA and Company 's projecteMBrAce. They are setting up a project for MBAs to work with large charities to assist in Japan Earthquake assistance. Possibility of small payment like an internship. Send resume to info@catalystmaster.com with subject line "eMBrAce" (Must be MBA for this project)
  • How to raise donations. Which charity is best to get the donations directly to Those suffering from the Japan Earthquake. Criteria would be trusted, percentage of our donations getting to Japan, Organizations that are based in Japan, transparency.
  • MBAs on the front lines. Volunteering for charities in Japan.
  • How we can assist in getting large organizations to donate blankets, clothes, etc.(ie. Recycle shops or thrift stores donating their winter clothes to charities) Thats a win win for them as they write off the donation on something they wouldnt be able to sell until next year.

Looking forward to hearing from you on these topics and more from 6pm(Japan Time)

Getting donation messages out for Second Harvest

Advertising through Facebook or other means looks like one of the fastest ways to get donations
This is the best org. I can find http://www.2hj.org/index.php/get_involved/index
Because it is local and can distribute quickly what we can get donated (ie money, clothes & food)
Please share your thoughts on this.

  1. Definitely local options with easy and fast access is good. Particularly for getting essentials like clothes etc to those in need ASAP. However large multi-national NGOs like Red Cross are with donating to. The have the scope and scale to make a difference and to do so efficiently. Plus with it being possible to donate via google it is very easy.
