Help Haiti but Beware: Watch Out for Those 'Impulse' Donations - ABC News

Help Haiti but Beware: Watch Out for Those 'Impulse' Donations - ABC News: "Recalling the well-intentioned efforts of groups who sent coats and fuzzy winter scarves to victims of the 2004 tropical Asian tsunami, and the outright scams launched by the ill-intentioned, Daniel Borochoff, president of the American Institute of Philanthropy, advises givers to target groups with strong track records in the area. They should donate to aid organizations that know Haiti, understand the needs of Haitians, and have well-organized distribution systems for actually delivering that aid."
