RE:build. Sundance joins in global concern for Haiti, its people and those working on the ground during this very challenging time. Sundance Institute is committed to helping the young filmmakers in Haiti tell their story: to raising awareness of CINÉ INSTITUTE, the country's only film school, and their efforts to document the tragedy and recovery since the earthquake. In addition, we have set up a text donation vehicle and encourage the 40,000 Sundance Film Festival goers to make donations to earthquake relief efforts or to seek out other ways in which to assist. Donations will be split evenly between Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Oxfam.
Text “SUNHAITI” and the amount you would like to pledge to 27138. For example, text “SUNHAITI 25” to 27138 to make a $25 pledge. There's no limit to the amount you can pledge. Special thanks to Causecast and MobileCause for waiving their fees for the benefit of Haiti; 100% of your donation will go to these nonprofit organizations currently on the ground.
