They say there are some things to consider before you make a donation, so you can be sure it's going where you intend it to. One tip is to simply donate to a known charitable organization and avoid any that solicit from you. Seek out an organization on your own and do your research about them. When in doubt, the American Red Cross is always accepting donations for disaster relief, and their long history with helping in time of need will ensure the money gets to those who need it.
