I feel safer giving a donation through the Clinton Foundation, mainly because it has one of the lowest, if not the lowest of overhead percentages at about 4.1%. That means 95.9 cents of every donated dollar goes to programs.
I thought you might like to know that.

Also, The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul posts their IRS returns on their webpage, so anyone can see the expenses, etc. A very high portion of every $1 does go to programs.

The biggest need in Haiti right now is water, medicine and body bags, and it looks like the aid efforts are beginning to make a difference. Here are a few of the "your dollars end up in the helping programs" percentages, more than likely from 2008. For every 1.00 donated this is how much reaches the programs:
American Red Cross = 90.1%
Volunteers of America = 88.8%
Plan America = 75.8%
Salvation Army = not rated
