Text “HAITI” to “90999″ and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts.

Update: You can also text “disaster” to 90999 to give $10 to Compassion International relief efforts in Haiti.

Here’s very good advice on choosing how to direct donations:

I recommend Compassion International, Mennonite Central Committee, & Partners in Health. All have established presences in Haiti, partner with local groups (churches, community organizations), & have experience in health care and disaster relief.
From someone at Compassion… You can also text “disaster” to 90999 to give $10 to Compassion International relief efforts in Haiti
