Want to donate to Haiti, but worried about your money passing through the hands of (ugh) believers? The Richard Dawkins Foundation will care for your needs. A whole bunch of impeccably atheist organisations has agreed to collect money, then pass it on either to Doctors Without Borders (Médecins sans Frontières) or to International Red Cross.
But why not donate direct to one of those two organisations? In the words of the website
When donating via Non-Believers Giving Aid, you are helping to counter the scandalous myth that only the religious care about their fellow-humans.
You are also helping to promote aggressive bigotry. Assisting hypocritical opportunists. Oh and because neither Doctors without Borders or International Red Cross is a development agency you are making a default choice about effective help – Haiti’s needs will not go away any time soon.
But it’s your money.
