Katrina--What Happened to Our Donor Dollars?

Katrina--What Happened to Our Donor Dollars?: "Katrina--What Happened to Our Donor Dollars?
In the wake of hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, a year ago, there was, to say the least, a lot of confusion.

But we all wanted to help and we sent billions of dollars to nonprofit groups who were working on disaster relief, and then recovery efforts.

Americans gave some $4.2 billion but, while three quarters of that money went to established nonprofits such as the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army, the rest went to small charities, some of which came into existence specifically because of the hurricanes."
