678.0. "Helping the earthquake victims effectively" by SUPER::HENDRICKS (The only way out is through) Sun Dec 18 1988 18:48

    Recently Newsweek magazine published a list of charities accepting
    donations for Armenian relief.  Posters have been cropping up at
    our site for the same purpose, and Vogon News also posted a list
    of addresses.
    
    Does anyone happen to know which of the charities listed have the
    least overhead in terms of getting money to the actual victims?
                     
    Does DEC match funds given to the religious organizations?
    
    Thanks,
    Holly

	I believe that the overhead in the Episcopal Presiding Bishop's Fund for World relief has already been paid for. This means that if you give a dollar, than a dollar will go towards relief. I do not know whether Digital will match donations. - Andrew
