Japan has been hit by a devastating earthquake and tsunami, and our hearts go out to those affected and responding.
At this time, we believe that the relief and recovery effort does not have what we call "room for more funding," i.e., donations are not likely to improve the effort.
We recommend that donors support Doctors Without Borders, a relief organization that stands out for its transparency and ethical fundraising practices, as a way to support and improve disaster relief in general.
