For anyone who wants to donate money towards rebuilding the lives of those affected on this day in 2001, we recommend doing a little research so your donation goes where you want it to. Charity Navigator is an excellent site that shows how funds are allocated in various charities. Also, spending a little bit of time looking into this is time well spent- no matter how often you give of your money or time during this year, doing it in a responsible, educated way makes your gift more effective.
