Charity Navigator - Rating for American Red Cross

Personally, I do not donate to the Red Cross, but I mentioned them because they do work all over the world. I did not go to Charity Navigator because my post was specific to Hurricane Harvey, not to the Red Cross everywhere.

Obviously, many people donate to the Red Cross. I mentioned them along with a few others. There are still many charities that are helping out in Texas and anyone who donates should do their own study but to keep in mind what Charity Navigator posts is not significant to donating to this one specific cause.
