Then I hope your employer likes having about 50% of his donation skimmed off the top and to not go to the actual victims.

on 8/23/16 at 4:55 pm to tigeryatDonate a day of your time to help somewhere of your choosing.
Get your boss to match it with an extra day of vacation later.
Physical labor is still needed.

on 8/23/16 at 5:16 pm to tigeraddictI'm not sure why it can't be a church. I donated to the BR Foundation to benefit the cop's family earlier this month. Now I see they have a flood relief fund and I'll donate to that. They get a good rating from Charity Navigator
I've busted my share of sheetrock in the last week, still a lot of clean up and packing to do.
Thanks

Nobody wants to admit it, but the Red Cross is THE group when it comes to disasters such as this.
At the end of the day, they are giving people a place to live, and food to eat - which is something you do NOT want your local government doing.

on 8/23/16 at 5:39 pm to tigeryatUsually corporate entities will match if it's not for "religious purposes". A designated "disaster relief" contribution to a church will usually be allowable by IRS guidelines as long as isn't for the benefit of any one person.
That's the legal/ tax angle. Your employer may have their own separate limitations though. You may want to check into it.

And they ship these volunteers in from out of state, and end up taking up Cots or Hotel rooms, and then eat the food thats donated to the refugees. But when locals try and volunteer, Red Cross turns them away. frick Red Cross and everything about them.
