I don't want to send $100 to the wrong place so after paying a bunch of local salaries, bonuses, car leases, etc.... that $6.00 finally makes it's way to the countries that need it....

Is there a particular place to send $ that 100% (or close) of the money will make it's way to someone in need?

 

amazon allows you to donate through the Red Cross, so you can use your CC

i dont know much about the red cross so i dont know if anywhere near 100% of your donation will get to where it needs to go, but this is an easy way to do it.

 

Try www.unicef.org as well.

God bless you.

 

There's a list here, you can also find one on cnn.com, etc.

I personally picked unicef.org.

You can split your $100 and donate to two or more organizations.

 

I had the same question, thanks for bringin' this up.

 

thank you guys..... there were some previous discussions about how much of your donation actually goes to the person in need with some of these big organizations.

United Way has / had a CEO that gets paid a large amount of $, so I didn't want to send it through them!

 

I just donated with UNICEF. You can use your credit card.

You can try this:
http://www.churchworldservice.org Direct Relief International
27 South La Patera Lane
Santa Barbara, CA 93117
805-964-4767

or this:

www.savethechildren.orgUS Fund for UNICEF
333 East 38th Street
New York, NY 10016
800-FOR-KIDS

*edit* Both of these show on their site how much money goes where, so I felt comfortable with donating here.

 

i sent $100 and have now asked my employer to pony up some $ too. Hopefully i'll know on Monday whether they will or not.

 

It is not my intention to get into a one-upmanship contest, but we just donated $500 to UNICEF.

I hope that others here can help out as well.

God bless you all.

 

damn man...... i meant to say that I errrrr.... gave $1000...... ..... cough.... you're older than me...... i don't have any horses....

very nice.
