Red Cross Alternative
Until recently I donated money to the Red Cross on a monthly basis: some for local use, some for use at their discretion.
I've discovered, however, that while I can sign up to donate on their web site, once the donation is put into place, I cannot alter it. So, for example, when I had to change my credit card information, I could not even figure out from looking at the website if an old donation system would be activated. Certainly I could not delete it.
I asked them to provide tech support; they answered weeks later; I asked them to delete all donations; I never heard from them again.
I don't like this approach to fundraising, where you can add online but only delete if and when they get around to it. I find it unfriendly and, frankly, unethical.
This puts me into a quandary, however: is there an equivalent organization that I can donate to? Suggestions welcome. (Not Doctors Without Borders; I don't trust that organization.)
