Thanks Bob for all the info. I'd add that * American Red Cross
http://www.redcross.org/donate/donate.html is a profit making
organization.

I like

Mercy Corps www.mercycorps.org/ they help kids.

Salvation Army www.salvationarmyusa.org/


Doctors without Borders up there too along with ACLU if our disasters
become less urgent here but no less about the planet. Amnesty
International needs $ too.

During WWII, they actually charged troops at Pearl Harbor for the free
5-packs of cigarettes that were included in C-Rats. The DH's father
was at Pearl Harbor and the Red Cross made the sailors fill out
paperwork to receive any help at all, while the Salvation Army just
gave out blankets, etc., to whomever needed 'em.

Is it? It says on their website "The American Red Cross may share
financial donor postal mailing lists with other non-profits for a
one-time use by the other non-profit." it also says "The American Red
Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers"

The Red Cross is non-profit in England, but like all charities here
they may sell some of their services or rise money as if they were a
business. Usually the core jobs of the large charities are paid posts
because without core work they cannot be there in times of need,
understandably this can be a contentious issue and off putting for
dedicated and talented volunteers.
