The Ed Schultz Air America radio program has a list of reputable organizations for help.

His program today is really ON TOP of the catastrophe, with informed figures and Haitian specialists reporting the progress of what's going on with orgs around the world tryiing to help, the history of Haiti, everything.
Ed Schultz hasn't know much if anything previously about Haiti. His astonishment at learning that 75 percent of adult Haitians don't have jobs has left him boggled. And, bless his heart, enraged. You hear him attempting to track through how a population in this condition, that literally lives from day-to-day, can be on this nation's doorstep. To him this is incomprehensible.
What is also interesting is what is not being mentioned by anyone in connection with the wreck that Haiti is, is the history of Haiti and French colonial status whose economy was entirely slave-based, and the subsequent racism practiced against Haiti by everyone from Jefferson on. That this is the consequence of refusal to recognize a black state's integrity with refusal to trade, or have any relationship with this state other than as a subserviant, client, under white imperialist thumbs.
