'No Room for More Funding'
Holden Karnofsky of GiveWell:
By and large, [charities] seem to be aggressively soliciting donations, and we feel that many are implying these donations will be used in the relief/recovery effort. […]
However, a close look at the language they’re using reveals that their actual involvement in relief/recovery may be very limited and they are seeking donations for other activities.
GiveWell’s recommendation: give to Doctors Without Borders to promote better disaster relief in general.
