Boston fundraisers
There's One Fund Boston, which was set up to help the victims: http://onefundboston.org
There's the Boston First Responders Fund, as well: http://www.bosfirecu.com
If you text text VINCE to 50555, you can donate $10 to the Vince Wilfork Foundation. It will be directed toward those affected by the bombings. If 1,000 people donate, the Vince Wilfork Foundation will donate an additional $10,000. All funds will be directed toward helping the victims.
Technology Underwriting Greater Good has a fundraise.com fund: https://www.fundraise.com/technology-supports-victims-of-boston-marathon-bombing
There are two funds set up specifically to help families with multiple people injured--
Mother and daughter Celeste and Sidney Corcoran were both badly injured in the explosion; their fund is here: http://www.gofundme.com/CelesteandSydney
The Richard family had the father, mother, and daughter injured; their eight-year-old son was killed. The other is safe. Those donations can be made through Meetinghouse Bank, though people would have to call to figure out how to do so: 617-298-2250 and ask for customer service. Those, unfortunately, must be mailed in--cash, check, or money order.
Donations made to http://www.patriots.com/donate or http://www.revolutionsoccer.net/donate will be matched by Kraft, up to $100,000.
You can donate to the American Red Cross: http://www.redcross.org/charitable-donations . You can earmark the funds for victims of the bombings, or you can mark it for "where the need is greatest". The latter means that remaining funds will be redirected once the needs of the Boston victims are met.
Limbs for Life is raising funds for the victims: http://www.limbsforlife.org/ They will help victims who lost limbs to get prosthetics.
Democracy for America is also raising funds: https://www.fundraise.com/technology-supports-victims-of-boston-marathon-bombing/democracy
gonergone and I are setting up a fandom fundraiser; once that's in place, we'll link it around.
