Donations to certified disaster relief agencies should be 50-100% deductible. That is direct aid, not filtered through gubmint.
I’m ready to help but don’t want any Clinton Haiti like shenanigans. Do you have a recommendation?
The Red Cross is as top heavy as the fed gov. I am pretty sure the head of the RC makes more than the POTUS.
I agree. Stay away for Red Cross, all they want is money and they don’t use it as intended.
Many of us have researched the best charitable organizations for disaster relief and which spend the greatest percentage of their donations directly helping people. The very best is the Salvation Army, and one of the worst is the Red Cross.

Churches, and individuals,did more to directly help the people than any government org during Katrina.

Red Cross and Salvation Army? Weren’t these two organizations that boycotted Trump’s Mar-a-Lago hotel because he didn’t say the ‘right’ words about Charlotsville?
Head of the RC makes $500k a year although they paid $400k+ to move her to DC.
Samaritans Purse is my favorite charity. They have a strong track record of actually using donations for the needy.
Avoid Salvation Army. They cancelled a fund raiser at Trumps resort after Charlottesville. I think Salvation Army needs to rely on antifa donations going forward.
NO to Salvation Army. They went anti Trump.
Often local churches can best put the money to good use. A good one is Second Baptist. Contact them directly at 713-365-6020.

We’re finished with SA. We’re giving to Samaritanpurse and the Southern Baptist charity,who were on LI after Sandy.
Rev. Franklin Graham is coming up on Fox and Friends.
Stay away from red cross
Look up red cross and Haiti
Look up churches in flood zone and contribute cash to them
They take care of anyone who needs aid
Yes Red Cross and Salvation Army try to embarrass the Trumps by making big deal out of canceling events at Mar a Lago
But Red Cross is corrupt
Collected $500 million for Haiti
Built 6 houses
I gave up on the Salvation Army because I got tired of receiving multiple fundraising letters per week.
Indeed. Goodwill, too. I only give to Salvation Army.
