Anders Jacobsen is offering to donate $1 for every blog posting a link to his page and the following tsunami relief organizations. You can add mine to the list, Anders!
I tell you what I’ll do. I’ll add my own $5 (up to $100, I’m not as generous as Anders) for every blog that links back to Word Munger in the same way Anders specifies. Perhaps eventually the whole blogosphere will contribute!

UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund)
United Nations’ World Food Programme
Medecins Sans Frontieres / Doctors without Borders (donate!)

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

Link-whoring with a social conscience. This I like!

Link-whoring? I prefer to think of it more like the benefactor’s list in the symphony program — everyone knows you’re only donating to get the coveted invite to the Smythes’ Christmas ball, but they all still appreciate the sentiment.
