www.nyredcross.org accepts online donations; it's the local chapter.
www.uwnyc.org is the New York City United Way; it also accepts online
donations.
As Eric said, much more direct.

Conversation: FW: [FBC] NY American Red Cross wish list
Subject: RE: FW: [FBC] NY American Red Cross wish list
I have a little something to add. I managed the ARC enterprise E-mail
system until about 3 months ago so I have a pretty good idea of how the
ARC works.
If you want to give money to ARC to help the cause, do not go through
www.redcross.org or the national organization. First, bureaucracy will
lose and misappropriate your money. Second, 3 of their 4 web servers
are currently down - they've had Cisco and MS in-house assisting them
with a new load balancing solution since last night. If at all
possible, give directly to the local volunteer organization (chapter)
leading the relief efforts. There are a lot of great people doing great
work for the American Red Cross. Unfortunately there are a lot of poor
business people dragging it down.
I'll try to get some good chapter contact info for anyone that is
interested, I'm not sure who that may be right now but I can get it.
Eric
