Help for Haiti

Haiti was rocked by a 7.0+ earthquake on 12 January 2010.

The following links will take you to aid organizations where you can donate to help the people of Haiti rebuild their lives.

Do your own research before donating to ANY charity, even one of which you’ve heard. You can go to Charity Navigator to get started. We want to make sure that your hard, earned finances get to the people who need it most.

If you know of other credible organizations accepting donations on behalf of Haiti, please add that information to the comments on this page.

Most of the links that follow take you DIRECTLY to the donation page on each site. This is designed to get you right to where you need to go without delay.
