Between band and management personal donations plus contributions from Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy Foundation, $200,000 to date has been pledged to the following Haiti relief organizations:
- Partners in Health
- Doctors Without Borders
- The Lambi Fund of Haiti
- Project 81
- TBD Group for Rebuilding Haiti (As we are better able to assess the situation over the coming weeks, we will determine which organization is best equipped to aid the rebuild of Haiti’s homes and communities).

Thank you for helping out over there.
Hope the money is used well.
Hope the situation will get under control.
Hope that others follow this example.
are you accepting donations from fans and if so how?
I love you guys. Thanks for always helping those in need.
you are just simply amazing!
Sweet. You guys are heroes and model citizens.
that's what I call humanism! Thank you Pearl Jam!
Thanks for your generosity, would expect nothing less of the boys.
If I can make a suggestion - the Humane Society who have just arrived in the last few days to help the hundreds of thousands of animals who are also suffering enormously. They don't have the benefit of government aid or billions in donations, and they are the forgotten victims. It would just make my heart sing if PJ contributed to the animal rescuers as well.. more info:

Probably makes sense to tend to the million plus folks without food and water first!
