Let's do some research:

Red Cross:

Mostly OK, but... there are some occasional issues.

Meanwhile the Center for Disaster Philanthropy ... is smaller.

I actually can't quickly find any issues on them, though comparing the one common source they seem to have far better transparency, and lower internal overhead (I suspect more volunteers?).
