OT Red Cross

Apparently when these highly-publicized disasters occur, the Red Cross gets lots of donations, some of which go to the actual disaster, and some goes into the cofffers to help victims of less well-known disasters.

Contributors were upset when they heard all of the money they gave for the 9/11 victims wasn't used in that disaster, but where is the money to come from to help the victims of smaller disasters that no one donates for? Makes sense to me that they "manage" contributions as they do, and keep some of the donations from large disasters to help victims of smaller disasters.
