April: Going Direct
My ongoing saga of charitable giving stays on a humanitarian path for April. Although I strongly considered giving more to two of my favorite previous charities, I decided to try something different. So for April, my $100 goes to Direct Relief International.
DRI provides worldwide humanitarian assistance to people in need, including inside the United States. This keeps a theme going I created with a donation to MSF in January. Based on their rating with Charity Navigator, I’m confident my $100 donation to DRI will be put to good use helping people.

Direct Relief seems like a good charity. I donate monthly to the Freedom Alliance Fund, with low management expenses. The great majority of the funds go to scholarships for children of fallen members of the military.
