Your philanthropic choices (or lack thereof) are your business, however, if you’re like me, you’ve got some really mixed feelings about the Red Cross. Something you might consider for hurricane relief donations is Modest Needs, which focuses on keeping people out of the poverty/public assistance cycle. They have very low administrative costs and always do full disclosure on their financials, so you know exactly where your money is going.

Also worth your consideration: Mercy Corps. Like Modest Needs, they have administrative costs of less than 10% of the money they collect. So your dollars do more heavy lifting.
