HRO Can and Can’t Do

The Human Relief Organization is pleased to provide many global projects, and we invite you to make a formal request for assistance at any time using this procedure. Due to the many requests we receive, we are only able to evaluate projects submitted appropriately as instructed here.

FIRST, it is important for us to let you know the (3) specific assistances that are

available to you through the Human Relief Organization:

1. With a global network of partners and suppliers, you may request for physical items to donate such as medical supplies, clothing etc.
2. Our partnership with USAID and the Denton Program allows us in the transporting of physical supplies between most US located global destinations.
3. 3. HRO can provide access to a specialized team of professional long term facility projects. This is a fantastic options that gives access to the full benefit of our diplomatic and partner network minimal staff costs can be built into your project budget.

SECOND, it is important for us to let you know what we do not provide:

Our long term facility projects are very project specific. Many organizations search

for funding and assistance knock on our door. Any projects take under our umbrella requires a 3 year minimum program, and HRO support costs submitted in tandem with the overall project. We cannot grant writing services for any project not under our umbrella, or organization or contributing financially to the support of our grant writing. HRO gives you much greater access to potential funding sources, but not without your contributing to the process.

How the Evaluation Process Works….

Requests for one time or ongoing physical item donations is matter the HRO Staff

putting out the call to its network to attempt to acquire we have requested. We will

surely do our best to assist you if we can. For long term facility programs to be a

“designated” HRO project, you will provide us with some specific items so that we

can evaluate how we can assist you. The more detail you give us, the better chance

we can fit your vast network of ongoing possibilities!

ü     Project Proposal- Please provide us with a 1 page description of your project/facility.

ü     Fact Sheet-Give us the details of your organizations status and we need to know if this program/project is in response to (documented) request from a government agency.

ü     Support Information- What support, donations, land, and facility partnerships have you already acquired to achieve your goals?

ü     Operating Budget- Every project has a combination of one term ongoing operating costs. We require that you submit this 3 year program budget to the best of your ability. This helps us to see if you understand the critical understanding of the long term requirements necessary to achieve your goals.

ü     Curriculum/Program Plan- Whether you are a medical, education, or housing facility you will need to have an appropriate program plan, curriculum, staff position descriptions, etc.

ü     Funding Target List- We will surely consider and assist with identifying potential funding sources for our Designated Projects, but we will need a team. Please provide any specific Funding targets for your program you have already indentified.

ü      Physical Item List- Break down your needs so that you provide a physical item list of materials. Do you need specific school items, computers, hospital beds, and x-ray machine, etc?

If you are panicking after reading this list and thinking to yourself, “I do all of this and that’s why I’m calling on HRO… because I need the assistance first to put these things together!!!” Just do your best and indicate for the above that you do not yet have this piece figured out. Then be ready to give you the information letting you know how much it will cost the HRO Staff to assist you in putting this project together should we select working forward with you. We understand the needs of the “funding sources” well planned project prior to any contributions being made, and we solidifying strong planning foundations.

We believe in balanced partnerships that serve all participants. This will include multiple nonprofit organizations, governments and corporations working together to serve. Having HRO as you anchor organization and core team for a project is an incredible asset. We are honored to have the opportunity to consider your project. Please submit all your documents to HRO. Only complete packages submitted to us will be considered. If you have any questions regarding you submission, please contact Olga Crupper, President of the Human Relief Organization at olga@humanrelief.net. We encourage you to review the Project Hope example, the way to better understand how an HRO team would function in assistance with a long term project. Though yours neither may nor include the entire example described for a Project Hope Facility, it will give you an excellent example.

Implementation of the HRO Mission

Affidavits for recipient nations to acquire needed resources are first obtained through diplomatic channels here and abroad in order for recipient nations to sanction and support HRO activities in their respective countries. The relationship of HRO with the US Department of Defense is one which involves diplomatic channels and those military organizations serving the military’s need for logistical coordination of resources directed through the Pentagon and shipped via local Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines logistical assets. Since incorporation. HRO programs are jointly administered through the State Department (DOS), Department of Defense (DOD), and the US Agency for International Development (USAIDS). HRO is also registered with the Department of Agriculture (DOA) for permission to obtain and use solicitation authorizations in obtaining products and resources controlled by it. HRO enjoys a working relationship with the Denton Program within USAIDS, which provides the logistical assets to transport hospital beds and medical material to the countries listed below.
