给予帮助

• 美国红十字会是在海地工作的最广为人知的组织之一。他们接受网上捐款，帮助志愿者安排时间或其他支持，还可以通过发短信给海地90999接受10美元的捐款，这笔钱计入你的**账单。
• 联合国儿童基金会和医生无国界组织，另外两个经常出现在求助电话中的组织，已经为他们在海地的努力建立了网站。
• 海地出生的音乐家Wyclef Jean利用Twitter为他的Yele海地地震基金筹集支持，该基金还提供5美元的短信捐款。
• 《每日野兽》是一个新闻和观点博客和聚合网站，它把帮助海地的非**组织的名单汇编了起来，并对每一个组织以及你的资金流向做了一些背景介绍。
• Caroline McCarthy的帮助CNET解释指向旧金山编年史，NPR新闻和CBS新闻汇编的列表。

避免欺诈和核实非营利组织

• Send money, not stuff. Charity organizati*** can use your financial help to restock their supplies, but, as the GlobalPost explains, sending clothes, food, or other items is, at best, misguided.

  Charity Navigator, an independent evaluator of non-profits and aid organizati***, has compiled a list of relief organizati*** working in Haiti that have attained three- or four-star ratings from their studies, and are generally c***idered trustworthy and efficient.

  TIME points out the popularity of text message donation campaigns, but also suggests being cautious of online scams:

  As with any kind of giving, it's wise to verify that the cause you are donating to is a legitimate organization before pledging your funds. This is especially true when you learn of a nonprofit on Facebook, where phishing and other scams can give the impression that your friends are sending out links, when really a spammer has hijacked their identity.

  Legitimate organizati*** also send a confirmation text moments after you donate to verify that you really want to give the specified amount, typically $5 or $10. If you say yes, then the amount will appear on your next cell phone bill. If you did not intend to donate, you can cancel your pledge.

  CBS News recommends checking out any group you're about to give to at The Foundation Center web site, where you can look up that group's most recent tax filing and non-profit status.
