OT - Asia Tsunami Catastrophe I suspect that many here have already helped with donations. Those who are hesitating, not because they don’t want to give but because they are unsure which organization will put their money to the highest and best use, may want to have a look at this website: charitywatch.org It rates charities by efficiency; i.e. what percentage of each dollar donated is actually put to use versus fundraising and overhead costs. One good example of an efficient charity is Doctors Without Borders. I ended up donating to them. Over 85% of funds collected end up in the “field”. I am sure there are even better ones. It’s a little like researching stocks. A bit of DD will go a long way … Regards, kidl PS: Many of the charities listed have Canadian websites. Just replace the .org or .com with .ca PPS: Also keep in mind that donations made today still count for the 2004 tax year.
