How You Can Directly Help Haiti

So what is the money paying for if 0% of it is being used for overhead/administration costs? Or rather, who pays for this organization to operate?

I support this idea, but that just seems like a strange claim when trying to contrast yourselves with the Red Cross as a general aid organization.

Please do give money to help people recover from this earthquake and other disasters.

We're a lean organization. We have a few paid staff who work for reasonable salaries. Our executive director takes a $0 salary. We solicit donations year round to help cover our operating expenses and those expenses are largely covered by a few private donors who appreciate what we do. When there is an event like this and we're fundraising for that event... 100% goes to the event.

Supplies? Food? Shelter? I'm guessing everything else except for the wages of the volunteers since, they are volunteers.
