Giving through your house of worship is good, Red Cross and organizations like Causes.com.
Causes.com partners with many charities all have been vetted to make sure they are on the up and up.
"We will guide you to non-profits that we're working directly with, such as the Red Cross, Save the Children, and Catholic Relief Services. We connect them directly with these non-profits so you can hear what they are doing on the ground in Japan, so you can get the story straight from them," said Matt Mahan from Causes.com.
Be aware that some scamsters came up with sound alike names for their fake charities.
