    a. American Red Cross — the American Red Cross International Response Fund helps victims of crises such as the Chile and Haiti earthquakes. If you wish to designate your funds to a specific crisis, you’ll need to mail in your donation.

    b. Americares — funds go exclusively to the Chilean earthquake (and tsunami relief, should further tragedies occur)

    c. World Vision Disaster Response Fund - your money goes towards relief efforts for global disasters worldwide (not Chile specifically)

    d. SOS - Children’s Village link to make donations specifically to Chile
