Chart: How Many Children Could be Helped if Frozen Charitable Funds Were Released?
Printer-friendly versionDate:
November 9, 2009
The Office of Foreign Assets Control report for 2008 indicates $20.7 million in assets have been frozen for all individuals and entities on its watchlist. There is no public information on how much of that comes from charities, but news reports indicate at least $6 million in U.S. charitable assets are frozen.
Instead of the money remaining frozen at Treasury, the money could be used to help millions of children and families in need. As an example, we used statistics from the US Fund for UNICEF* to illustrate how frozen funds could be used for immunizing children, clean water and shelter for displaced families.
