Do Something.http://www.jrsusa.org/
If you are looking for great organizations to give relief to the efforts in Haiti after the devastating earthquake, consider giving to these two organizations:
THE JESUIT REFUGEE SERVICE (JRS)
http://www.jrsusa.org/
And Bill Clinton's Foundation is also moving funds there because Bill is the
UN special Envoy/Ambassador to Haiti.

Cynthia Louise, In the past 48 hours, we've heard the heartbreaking stories and seen the harrowing images of people who remain without shelter, water, food or basic medical supplies in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake off the shore of Haiti. But the outpouring of support is reason for hope. If you've already donated, I am deeply grateful. Please consider making another gift and encouraging your friends and family to do so as well. The most important thing you can do right now is to give money. Small donations add up to big amounts. To see how you can help, please visit: http://e.clintonfoundation.org/t?r=1925&c=1930670&l=56657&ctl=2D31F90:96EA00AC7E3FC604497E0C6913DB934F2DF81CE5191D20B0& Yesterday I met with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at the United Nations to discuss the current situation on the ground in Haiti and the need for sustained focus through and beyond the immediate crisis. We must ensure the coordination of the United Nations, world governments, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals like you. As UN Special Envoy for Haiti, I have been monitoring the situation very closely. What we need right now is to find survivors in the rubble, bury those who did not live, get medical care and supplies to the hurt, food for the hungry, and shelter for the homeless. And once the emergency is over, we can start to rebuild. Together, we can make a tremendous difference in saving lives and sustaining them through this crisis. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your generosity at this critical time
Bill Clinton
UN Special Envoy for Haiti
