Yes that's right but they still still welcome donations to their general fund according to their web site.. And that keeps the lights on at home. That's where our money went. It is still in the same "enabling' pot. <g>

"""We kindly request that you contribute to our general Emergency Relief Fund, which is enabling our quick response to the current disaster in South Asia as well as humanitarian needs in war-torn Darfur, Sudan, and elsewhere in the over 70 countries where MSF is working around the world. The Emergency Relief Fund provides a resource for MSF to draw upon immediately when a crisis occurs, allowing a quick response to events where the speed of our response is crucial to saving lives"""

Any charity that requests no more funding is required for specific aid is darn good in my mind. I don't know of any other that will do that. They are, IMO, just trying to be efficient with their dollar. We went to their site with tsunami aid in mind and seen that notice and it made us want to contribute to them MORE. We even upped our contribution. :)

BTW, take a look at their admin and fund raising percents. I think one of the best for charities.
