The UNICEF site was down when I tried it yesterday, but is working well now. The Red Cross via Amazon link takes you to a page that doesn’t do a very good job of explaining that Amazon IS waiving all the normal transaction fees that it would normally collect from such a payment.

They’ve already collected more than 3 million dollars. I find that utterly amazing.
