Ombligo, those are great ideas and advice! Thanks for the link to the International Red Cross — I just made an online, targeted donation and can report the process was simple and quick. miley-signs001: One thing, though, if you are concerned with tax deductions: the ICRC is a Swiss organization, so doesn't qualify for a deduction on U.S. federal taxes. . .

I don't know if the Philippine Red Cross donations are tax-deductible or not, but I will include it in my tax deductions for this year nonetheless. We just list a total amount, and unless we're audited I don't expect anyone will ask which charities we contributed to.

Here's the Philippine Red Cross link again: http://ushare.redcross.org.ph
