About Download to Donate: Originally launched by Music for Relief just days after the January 12, 2010 Haiti Earthquake, Download to Donate is a unique fundraising campaign that capitalizes on social media. Download to Donate for Haiti was comprised of songs from 16 exceptional artists available for digital download on www.musicforrelief.org. Those who downloaded were encouraged to donate any amount they chose to the relief effort. The campaign resulted in 115,000 downloads $270,000 raised for earthquake relief in Haiti to date. Now, the campaign lives at downloadtodonate.org and is constantly evolving with songs being added, thus making it a "living" album.
