The ING Direct Kids Foundation, a charity division launched last month by banking firm ING Direct, has started an online fundraising effort to help children and families affected by the attacks on New York City and Washington.
Visa or Mastercard credit card donations are being accepted at the foundation's Web sites at www.savekidsnow.org and www.ingdirect.com. Checks can be made payable to Ing Direct Kids Foundation, 1 S. Orange St., Wilmington, DE 19801.
Visitors can obtain more information at savekidsnow.org, and the foundation also has set up a toll-free number for donors at 877/469-0208.
All contributions to the fund will be donated to children's charities in the New York and Washington, DC, areas.
