SAN FRANCISCO -- JustGive Connects Concerned Global Citizens with Charities Focused on Providing Aid from Safe Food and Drinking Water to Medical Care and Supplies

JustGive(R) (www.justgive.org), a national nonprofit organization that uses technology to increase overall giving by connecting people with the charities and causes they care about most, is making it easier for people concerned about the devastation in Southeast Asia to take action. JustGive has compiled a centralized list of trusted, qualified charities that are taking a lead role in humanitarian relief efforts in regions suffering from the recent earthquake and related tsunamis in Southeast Asia and parts of Africa. JustGive provides descriptions of these global charities organized by area of focus along with the ability to donate to one or more of the organizations through a few simple steps on JustGive's website.

"Concerned citizens are looking for ways to help the communities that have been crippled by this horrifying natural disaster, but most don't know where to go or how to donate funds," said Kendall Webb, executive director and founder, JustGive. "Additionally, people want to ensure that their money goes directly to tsunami aid, versus being directed to other funds within large relief organizations. By donating money electronically through JustGive's website, gifts will be automatically designated to the charities' tsunami disaster relief funds."

JustGive has organized charitable organizations on its "Provide Aid to Southeast Asia" web page by category of focus: Food and Safe Drinking Water, General Relief, Medical Care and Supplies, and Rebuilding. Representative organizations include United States Fund for UNICEF, Oxfam-America Inc., AmeriCares Foundation, Inc.; Mercy Corps, Doctors Without Borders USA Inc., and Architecture for Humanity.
