Yes, it's a popular theme for the media to discredit the Red Cross especially in international disasters because the support is indirect through member organizations and through long term support after the intial media attention subsides. I prefer this organization due to it's regulation and fine scrutiny as a non-profit and PayPal's offseting a major cost in processing - however, you're welcome to donate as you see fit.

Thanks to Chris/SOS for setting this up.

FWIW, The Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco lists the American Red Cross as one of the organizations that is recommended for making donations in the US towards the relief effort for those affected by the Quake/Tsunami in Japan. (Received as part of an emergency notification email from the Consulate's office)

I think money is what is most needed in Japan right now which American Red Cross is providing and probably will continue to do so. Also, if I am not mistaken, there's a law that forces these charities to use the money as specified by the donor first which probably will ensure that your money will go to the right purpose.(though I'm not too sure about this). Either way, Thanks to chris and sos for doing this!

Also, you can text Redcross to 90999 for a $10 donation to the American Red Cross. You'll get a confirmation text as a reply where you need to reply back with YES. Of course, that $10 will be added to your phone bill.

We were able to make a sizeable contribution today designated for disaster relief in Japan from the proceeds of last week's sales. Thank you for your patronage.
