Efficency and transparency ratings for charities are important. I also LOVED that guy's blog about his kids -- a very loving Dad.

Good to see my regular charities listed: Medecins Sans Frontieres, The American Friends Service Committee, and Oxfam (hmmm, though Oxfam didn't fare as well in the ratings -- I know it as a perfectly fine charity, mostly fighting hunger in the third world).

I think my response to this tragedy will be to send some bucks to the American Red Cross. I don't think I've ever donated to them, except for right after 9/11, but I was heartened to see their good ratings.

alchemize is right, I think everyone here can spare a ducat or two. Just postpone that next vid card upgrade, or even (gasp!) forego just one good night on the town.

Agreed.

 

[ramuman]

I'd like to post this in other forums (HardOCP, Sharky etc.) that don't already have a thread for donations. I just added one at Sharky's, but can't post in the Off Topic section of Hard Forums for some reason. Please spread this around. We should feel privelaged to live in such relative prosperity and should take it upon ourselves to help those in need.

Thanks!!

 

[sMiLeYz]

My workplace started a fund, of which I personally contributed about 40$ to. Hope those poor people recover.

 

[brtspears2]

Easynews is taking up a collection too. If you got extra gigs to spare, easynews will donate 50 cents a gig.

 

[beyonddc]

Donated $50 bucks through AmeriCares.

 

[Mill]

Gave 50 to World Vision and 50 to the Red Cross and my parents gave 200 to World Vision and 300 to Church of God World Missions Tsunami relief. It simply isn't enough though. I'm gonna give some more tommorrow.

 

[wiin]

Tourists getting most of the help, survivors report

It would be even better if we could get the names and addresses of those in need and send funds to them directly.

 

[Dissipate]

I'll donate to an organization that accepts GoldMoney, but I'm not going to donate any filthy, craptacular Federal Reserve Tokens. If anyone knows of an organization that accepts GoldMoney, please provide a link.
