慈善机构

有很多慈善机构，哪一个真正可信?  能把大部分的资金送到应该去的地方？

只有通过这个可信渠道  才能真正帮助有需要的人。

希望这笔钱不会肥了几个发死人财的官员。
(中国曾经发生过偷走慈善捐款而逃走成功的案例！ ）

感叹! 别无选择！和老伴商量后, 仍然要捐出, 希望有一些可以到达有需要的人的手里。

希望加拿大红十字会是一个很好的机构。

是啊，转一下胡MM的贴。

刚跟红十字会通过电话。

首先，大家可以放心，所有捐款都会到中国（红十字会），用于这次的地震救助。

国际红十字会的运作方式是：当灾害发生，灾难当地红十字会会先预计一个灾难救助所需要的目标金额，这个目标金额在一开始会随情况变化而不断变化。然后，国际红十字会会发布正式的Red Cross Disaster Relief Appeal，呼吁全世界进行捐款。当捐款达到目标金额后，红十字会将会停止为这个specific的disaster接受捐款。

至于捐款超过红十字会的目标金额，这通常发生在灾害数月甚至一年后，有些人仍然想捐款，如果累计的捐款已经超过了红十字会为这次灾害设立的目标金额，那么这个款项有可能用在其他地方。（如果是电话或者亲自捐款的，红十字会会征询捐款人同意，如果是internet捐款，就只能看statement了。）

现在，国际红十字会尚未为中国地震发布正式的appeal，因此还没有一个目标金额，但已经开始接受捐款了。到目前为止，加拿大红十字会已经收到 $80,000捐款。并且，国际红十字会在地震当天就通过Disaster Relief Fund给中国红十字会发去$250,000救助款。

以上都是我根据通话内容整理记录的，肯定会有些地方不那么准确，只是我个人的理解，并不代表红十字会。

我也尝试征询加拿大红十字会方面是否可以出份书面的东西，向中国人社区解释捐款的去向，以及简单解释国际红十字会在灾难发生时的运作步骤，不过这方面需要他们的public relation去处理。

谢谢大家关注。

向本地红十字会捐款的好处是简单方便快捷，网上捐款两分钟就能搞定，并且能马上拿到抵税单，这样可以提高大家捐款的积极性。

1. Funds will support the response in China. The Canadian Red Cross is accepting funds to meet the immediate relief and long-term recovery needs of earthquake survivors in China. Should donations supporting this Red Cross disaster relief and recovery effort meet the amount required, the Canadian Red Cross will cease collecting donations for the response and will communicate this information immediately to the public.

2. Administrative costs will not exceed 15%. There have been reports and donor concerns about figures as high as 50%, which is simply not the case. As always, we hold our fundraising and communication costs to a maximum of 15%.

3. The Red Cross is an excellent choice for channelling donations. The Red Cross Society of China was active immediately after the earthquake, providing rapid assistance to people in need. It is through the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement that we are able to provide assistance to multiple disasters in multiple locations around the world - from here at home in New Brunswick following severe flooding, to Myanmar and China. The Movement is well prepared to respond locally and engages the help of other National Societies when needed. This is one of our greatest strengths as an organization.

4. The Canadian Red Cross honours the intent of its donors and is fully transparent in accounting for all dollars received and spent. The trust the Canadian public has put in the Canadian Red Cross to quickly support the China relief effort is well placed.

5. The Canadian Red Cross has an ongoing project in the quake-affected Sichuan province, to educate the public about HIV/AIDS. We have been in touch with our colleagues there to ensure that all are safe.
