Help me help Japan
March 13, 2011 7:48 AM
I'd like to send aid to Japan, but I'm not sure where to donate. Suggestions? Thanks!
Where can I donate to aid Japan that will do the most good (sorry, I'm not even sure how I would define that)? Ask suggested Partners in Health for Haiti, so I'd like to give to an organization like that for Japan.

Whatever you do, please, please do not earmark the money.

This question has some good suggestions, including the Charity Navigator recommendations.

Thanks. I'm embarrassed I missed the previous question.

Japan is a rich country that can fund its own recovery. You'll do more good by sending your money to an organization that works in Africa or maybe one that helps the poor in your own area.
