Monday’s Update On Japan Quake/Tsunami Giving

• So far, Network for Good (which Charity Navigator has partnered with to process donations via our site) has processed $5.5 million in donations for charities responding.

• 1,543 donations have been made via Charity Navigator’s site (using Network for Good) to the charities responding.


• The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports that more than $105 million has been donated thus far. This is still significantly less than how much people gave 7 days after Haiti (>$275 million) and 6 days after Katrina ($457 million).


• The bulk of that money continues to flow to the American Red Cross ($76 million) of which $3.2 million came from text donations.
