Those are good with fine reputations. But there's lots of warnings
about bogus charities springing up too. I got a call today from some
one for the "Haitian National Relief *Fund" , when i heard the
typical *"boiler room" in the background, I hung up. But legit or not,
I won't donate over the phone, especially to *those who wish credit
card info.
Red Cross, Salvation Army... Why go anywhere else and pay someone to set
up in Haiti when The RC is already there?

Actually the first 4 charities were listed as the best choice for
contributing to Haiti by Charity Navigator, because of there strong
logistical network already in Haiti, and because greater than 94% of the
contributions go to those intended.

Red Cross sucks!

We sent $600 to Red Cross earmarked For Katrina Aid. Later we found out
NONE of it went to the the aforementioned. Red Cross is big business
playing on the sympathy and generosity of the unsuspecting.
There are plenty of worthy charities that do good work with very little
overhead costs. Many of them are religious groups.- Hide quoted text -

Today, the Southern Baptists Association are sending two semi truck
loads of food and various suplies from a three county area to
Florida to be loaded and sent.
