Nepal earthquake to 'Bruce Almighty' cat: Does crowdfunding help or hurt? | CBCNews.ca Mobile

Nepal earthquake to 'Bruce Almighty' cat: Does crowdfunding help or hurt? | CBCNews.ca Mobile: "GoFundMe currently hosts more than 800 individual campaigns for Nepal Earthquake relief, many of which are run by people rather than registered charities and wouldn't be subject to any regulations.

"Surely the charities that already have experience in the area are better equipped to manage this," Wyman argued.

For example, the Red Cross mobilized its emergency field hospital with doctors, nurses and medical technicians within 48 hours of the earthquake. Larkin says that's not something that can wait for a crowdfunding campaign."
