But which charity do I use?

Yesterday I listed some of the better rated organizations for donating to the Haitian disaster relief but I failed to give advice as to how to rate these charities. I've found a valuable resource is Charity Navigator a web siste that not only gives you the rating on a particular charity  you're interested in but also has such Top Ten lists as

• Least visited (asked about)
• Most swamped in admin costs
• Most asked for
• Supersized charities
• Low paid CEO's

Well, you get the idea.  It's a fun site to visit even if you don't intend to contribute.  But I hope you do.
