In the wake of the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan last week, aid organizations are working to assist survivors and are calling for donations. We’ve compiled a list of a few of the organizations lending a hand. It’s not an exhaustive list, but it can help those interested in contributing get a start on their research.

You can also read a donor’s guide to giving after a disaster at the Chronicle of Philanthropy and best practices for giving during a crisis at InterAction. The Chronicle of Philanthropy has an update on aid raised so far here.
