Amazon.com is hosting a donation page (through their “Honor System” mechanism) to collect money for the American Red Cross in disaster relief efforts for the tsunami victims. Unlike usual Honor System donations (where Amazon takes 2.9% and $0.30 per donation), Amazon is forwarding all money on to the ARC International . For those of you with Amazon One-Click accounts, it’s an extremely hassle-free way to donate.
To date (over the last two days), over $3.7MM has been given by 60,000-odd people.
There are any number of other places where you can contribute (and, with a disaster of this magnitude, money is probably more useful than specific items), but I thought I’d pass on word about this one.
