Jimmy Carter calls for Carter Center donations to be redirected to support fighting coronavirus
Former President Jimmy Carter is calling for donors to his nonprofit organization to redirect their contributions to local groups working to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
The former president, his wife, Rosalynn, and their grandson, Jason, who serves as chairman of The Carter Center’s board of trustees, asked those wishing to make a donation to the organization to “forgo your next gift for the work of The Carter Center and direct it to a local group that is reducing the suffering caused by this pandemic.”
“Each of us asks you to concentrate on the needs of your family, friends, neighbors, and all in your community. Your commitment will help stop this threat,” the three said in a letter to donors sent out on Tuesday.
So far, more than 417,500 cases of the virus have been reported worldwide, as well as more than 18,600 deaths and nearly 107,400 recoveries, according to the latest John Hopkins University data.
