Finding Charities to support in Haiti relief efforts

Within hours of the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti, many people's email inbox were flooded with requests for donations to support the relief efforts. But how do you know if these organizations are legitimate? The Evangelical Council For Financial Accountability, or ECFA, is an organization that provides accreditation to Christian non profits based on established standards for financial accountability, fund raising and board governance. The ECFA makes available Servant Match, a search engine to match individuals with ministries that they are interested in. Servant Match has a special search set up to help with the outreach efforts in Haiti, offering 85 organizations that you can feel sure about support.
