[Air-l] Internet as a tool for charity

[Christopher Helland]

Hi,

I know that the Internet and WWW where significantly
utilized for fundraising and relief efforts when the
tsunami hit SE Asia.  It appears that the Internet is
again becoming an important tool for raising funds and
distributing relief post Katrina.  Is anyone aware of
any research done and published on the use of the
Internet for charity and relief efforts?

Tks,

Chris
