American Express Establishes Relief Fund

The American Express Foundation has contributed $1 million to establish the American Express World Trade Center Disaster Relief Fund. The fund's proceeds will help the community respond to the September 11th terrorist tragedy and benefit the victims of this tragedy and their families, including any American Express families that may have been impacted.

American Express employees around the world and the general public can contribute to the fund. Individuals interested in contributing to the American Express World Trade Center Disaster Relief Fund can contact 866/AXP-GIVES or axpsupport@corematter.com.

Individuals can make donations by check or money order, payable to "The American Express World Trade Center Disaster Relief Fund." They may also contribute by using their personal American Express card. If desired, contributions can be designated as "Support for American Express Families." The company will match contributions made by American Express employees, advisors and retirees.
