Thanks to Shanghaiist and Christine Lu for posting the below information. Hope those of you reading can also help spread the word while gather more information on other NGOs on the ground in China setting up relief efforts for earthquake victims in Sichuan province.

For those who are looking to contribute to current aid efforts underway, you can now donate money to the Red Cross Society of China which has formed a disaster relief working group to be dispatched to the earthquake-stricken Wenchuan County in Sichuan.

They have also published an emergency relief hotline, along with bank account information to receive donations to assist their cause:

The massive earthquake that rocked central China on Monday has left thousands dead, and the full scope of the disaster is not yet clear. GlobalGiving is partnering with Half the Sky, which is working in affected areas to help the thousands of children who have been affected, particularly those in welfare institutions, and Mercy Corps, which is working with a local group to provide emergency support and assistance.

Both organizations have been through GlobalGiving's rigorous due diligence process and have committed to providing donors with regular updates.
