Nonprofits Mobilize in Wake of Deadly Nepal Earthquake

United States-based aid groups swung into action in response to the earthquake in Nepal as rescue workers searched the rubble and the toll of the killed and injured continued to rise.

By Monday, the Jewish Federation of North America, the Red Cross and World Vision had dedicated the homepages of their websites to fundraising for disaster relief in Nepal. Doctors Without Borders said on its website it has sent eight teams to respond to the humanitarian crisis. Unrestricted funds, it noted to donors, "allow us to allocate our resources most efficiently and where the needs are greatest."
