Gus > After all, you don't want your donation to end up in the hands of some neonazi, white-supremacist, bogus charity, now do you?
Now you're talking. I can assure you it was no easy task finding a non-denominational, professional set-up which actually was involved in charity (ie giving and helping needy people of all races and all religions) and not in self-help (ie keeping the money) or missionary work (ie promotion of religious fantasies and therefore hatred of people who do not belong to that religion). And, as I'm sure you know, the Red-Cross kept most of the money collected after 9-11.

>>The Red Cross has raised more than $564 million for the Liberty Fund, which was set up in response to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
While the agency states on its Web site that it is spending more than any other relief agency responding to the terrorist attacks, it has distributed only $154 million. <<
In fact, that was the main reason why I mentioned my small donation and also where I gave it -- and also the caveat that I hope the victims get it. After the tsunami, I considered Medicins Sans Frontieres the most worthy cause but, in this instance, no foreign charities are apparently permitted to operate in the US.
