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. |

Why go anywhere else and pay someone to set up in Haiti when The RC is already there? Scotty 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! Good lord..we may finally agree on something. Up here the Red Cross was involved in the 'tainted blood' scandal in the 1980s. As far as I know, not one of their leaders was charged or punished for pushing bad blood tainted with hep C. I haven't had much use for them since, but in this type of emergency they are probably one of the best outfits to support. |

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. |

No offense, but if I were running a foreign country, the last groups I'd let in for any reason are fundamentalist religious organizations, and the southern baptists qualify on all counts. Organizationally, they are evil incarnate. Note that I am not commenting on individual followers of that sect. |
