We have business contacts in Pakistan who have lost family members in the earthquake. Our group wanted to donate to earthquake relief but the only suggestions where International Red Cross, CARE, or find another charity via Network For Good.
Well, IRC is not on my good list, but I wonder if Network For Good is reliable. Any suggestions?

As far as I know, CARE is pretty reliable.

Hopefully find a church related foreign relief organization. I have learned that organizations that are non profit, can and do pay exorbitant salaries to their administration and advertising, etc. They may be protecting their own welfare. No matter how much money they receive, the portion that actually gets to relief can be small.
I want to know what the results are, what their record shows, etc. Here in the U.S. there are several church organizations that give 100% of donations on to the victims. They pay all their own expenses, etc. "Baptist Mens Relief organization" was great for Katrina
