Thanks to a new bill passed by Congress, gifts made through February 28, 2010, for Haiti earthquake relief are eligible for a tax deduction on your 2009 return. Any gifts made to a 501c , such as Samaritan’s Purse, for Haiti relief between January 12 and February 28 can be counted as a tax-deductible contribution on Form 1040, Schedule A.
Also, many corporations will match your financial gift. And many relief organizations will accept your airline miles. See this from United Airlines:
Donate miles to our partner charities who are actively involved in Haiti relief efforts through our Charity Miles Program. These organizations will use your donated miles to fly aid workers to affected areas. http://www.united.com/page/article/0,6867,1363,00.html?jumpLink=/charitymiles
