Eager donors need to be wary Check out charities for tsunami victims before giving cash

Charity watchdog groups warned donors who want to help tsunami relief efforts to be careful where they give their money.

If you find scams operating, please mail: piu@doj.ca.gov. - California's Attorney General's Office.
The American Institute of Philanthropy, another charity watchdog group, has assembled a list of two dozen recommended charities that are collecting money to help tsunami victims. It's online at www.charitywatch.org. Top-rated charities include the American Red Cross, Lutheran World Relief, Christian Children's Fund, and Doctors Without Borders.

The Better Business Bureau has also posted a list of charities collecting money on its Web sites, along with reports of whether they meet its standards. That list is available at www.give.org/news/tsunami.asp.
