Doctors Without Borders is an organization that I have donated to in the past. I have medical friends who volunteer in this organization and I have seen first hand the work from this group. In 2005 this organization was rated as one of the best relief charities, exceeding industry standards and outperforming most charities according to Charity Navigator. The American Institute of Philanthropy also gave them an “A” rating for their incredible work and efficient use of financial resources.

Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) was founded in 1971 as the first nongovernmental organization to both provide emergency medical assistance and bear witness publicly to the plight of the people it assists. A private nonprofit association, MSF is an international network with sections in 19 countries.

MSF is often one of the first humanitarian organizations to arrive at the scene of an emergency. Its large-scale logistical capacity ensures that MSF emergency teams hit the ground with the specialized medical kits and equipment they need to start saving lives immediately.
