Haiti Relief: see how much corporations are donating
more: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/15/haiti-relief-corporate-do_n_424710.html

In response to the crisis in Haiti, companies around the world are scrambling to donate to the cause. In addition to Americans sending more than $8 million via text message donations facilitated by cell phone companies, companies of all sizes have quickly mobilized their efforts.

We've compiled this list of major corporations and what they've donated thus far. We'll be keeping this list updated as more information comes in, so check back regularly. (Please note, this list is not exhaustive. If you have information about recently announced donations from major companies, please email us at huffpostbiz-at-gmail-dot-com.) Additionally, if you'd like to donate to Haitian relief or find out how you can help, we've got more information here.

1. Most aren't giving enough
Hanes is only giving $25,000 and they've got garment factories down there. Here's another list.

3. Corporations are contributing a whole lot of $$$
to the Red Cross, according to the Chamber of Commerce site. I notice that several are matching employee donations up to $1000 and one for up to 12k.

Give it a couple more days and there will be so many more, given that Pres. Clinton is in the fundraising mode.
