Over the last few weeks, folks have expressed a growing interest to donate aid and assistance to several international causes and crises. Philanthropy and non-profit management are big businesses, and it's important to be informed about how charities use are contributions. In the meantime, I am recommending the following organizations which have been hard at work to address and alleviate the humanitarian disasters in Syria, Turkey, and Ukraine:
