Tax Deductible Donations for Katrina
While a variety of government and private agencies are en-route to assist
victims of Hurricane Katrina, federal officials said people wanting to help
shouldn't head to the affected area unless directed by an agency.

people to make contributions to organizations. FEMA listed the following
