One worry I always have when donating to relief efforts is: how much of my money is going to the actual cause, and how much is going to ridiculous salaries for administrators? Apparently Direct Relief International has a bequest that covers administrative costs, so they can put the entirety of your donation toward the cause you choose. So if you’re looking for a way to donate to the relief efforts in Japan, I think that looks like a good one.

I have the same concern when I donate to relief causes. I often even worry if the money is really being delivered to those who need it because I have fallen victim to a few scams using natural disaster as a way of collecting money from people who are trying to help.
