I have quickly gathered a list of organizations who are accepting donations to help in the efforts in Haiti following the devastating earthquake on Tuesday January 12, 2010.
Red Cross Canada
Red Cross US
Salvation Army Canada
World Vision
Ofxam
Yele
Yele Haiti is a movement led by Wyclef Jean that is helping to bring hope back to Haiti. Projects are designed to make a difference in the fields of education, health, environment and community development. Yele Haiti (previously known as the Wyclef Jean Foundation) is a 501 (3) tax exempt charitable organization
Musician Wyclef Jean, who grew up in Haiti is using social media to reach out for support. His plea on Twitter has been broadcast around the world.
wyclef: Help Haiti Earthquake Relief Donate $5 by texting YELE to 501 501 right now
While that number is working in the United States, it is not available in Canada. MuchMusic offered this alternative on Twitter:
MuchMusic: 501501 doesn't work for Canadians, but you can still donate on the Yele website, or $5 to the Salvation Army by texting 'Haiti' to 45678
If I have missed any other legitimate organizations that are collecting financial aid for citizens of Haiti, please leave a comment.
Thanks for your support.

I am not a spokesperson nor do I endorse any of the organizations listed above. This is just a small way of lending my support.
