The American Red Cross is safe, I think. They’ve certainly screwed up in the past, but they’re under a lot of public scrutiny now, and I suspect that they’ll make the most productive use of anything you give.
I gave $50 to America’s Second Harvest; that will go directly to Katrina’s victims, and it will go in the form of what they need most right now: food, clean water, medical supplies.
The Progressive Blog Alliance is coordinating an effort by liberal bloggers to gather contributions from their readers. That’s their ad in the right sidebar.
And Strengthen the Good has mounted a matching campaign that will match your contributions (made through their site) to the Red Cross Disaster Fund. I’ve kicked in $100 to the matching fund, which is up to $1,650 now and growing.
If none of these work for you, Instapundit has the most comprehensive list of helping organizations I’ve seen so far.
Just give.
