From USAID Center for International Disaster:

Cash donations are the most efficient form of assistance. Unlike material donations, cash involves no transportation costs, shipping delays, or customs fees. It also enables relief organizations to spend more time providing aid by spending less time managing goods. Cash donations also allow relief supplies to be purchased in markets close to the disaster site, which stimulates the local economy, thereby boosting employment and generating cash flow to stimulate the local economy.

Organizations Responding to Hurricane Dorian:

The Bahamas Red Cross

International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies

International Medical Corps

Mercy Corps

Pan American Health Organization
