Ohhhh Fritzy! FEMA and I have been to blows already! Over "wind-driven" rain, no less. They are crooked as they can be.

I was also thinking of my bank (of America) as a responsible source to give. But if not them, my church and the Salvation Army. I knew about the incomplete reporting. We received "Wise Giving Guide" until it went defunct.

Thanks for the input! Good advice.

We really need to work on FEMA.. it is a terrific concept.. but like so many governmental programs.. the results never match the concept...we get excited about FEMA in the midst of a disaster.. but then when nothing is happening, we forget about them and they continue along their known path.. i.e. lots of money, lots of positive/paid for PR,lots of staff following the bouncing ball..

This can be said of a million programs..and organizations..

By the way, the Bank of America is a terrific charitable partner.. but again.. the measurement of results is truly missing...

You may want to visit the Guidestar.org site for some initial info...
