Valentine’s Day 2010 brings little to the hundreds of thousands of Haitians still in need due to the earthquake last month. The NGO’s are squabbling among themselves and the Haitian government is next to useless. Fundraising, at the million dollar level, is all but dead though kindhearted Americans and others worldwide continue small efforts to raise funds for Haitian relief.
I have been tracking the giving by individual Americans, American companies and American foundations. I have been using the same methods I used to track the same information for the SE Asian tsunami and for Hurricane Katrina relief. The research is not exact, and does not claim to record every cash or in-kind donation. What I am doing is documenting the generosity of the American public, perhaps the most giving nation on the planet.

| $891,477,703 | |||
| RC Dioceses in the United States | $10,406,369 | ||

The data behind these numbers can be found in a PDF file here. $347,423,603.00 represents the total of cash and goods and services donated by Americans for Haitian earthquake relief.
All of the over 170 Roman Catholic dioceses in the United States have held special collections for Haitian relief. I have only been able to locate the data for 26 of them. Roman Catholic donations for Hurricane Katrina relief totaled over $25 million by the time I discontinued record keeping.
