NOMA's Shelter in Solidarity Program Partners with CHF International

As part of the Shelter in Solidarity Initiative, the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) is partnering with CHF International to get tents into Haiti. To do so, we are asking that all NOMA members, friends and colleagues donate funds, 100% of which will be directed to the purchase and deployment of tents "on the ground" in Haiti. Tents procured by CHF International are expected to cost between $50 - $200. NOMA's initial commitment is to provide 80 tents. This is another opportunity to directly help our Haitian brothers and sisters who are so terribly in need.

We encourage you to donate $25 or more to NOMA's branded page on the CHF International website here:
