UA added Greater Houston Community Foundation which must have been set up later (I think by the city). This was my choice. Red Cross is too political in my view.

Also - read the fine print. I believe UA is only giving out 3 Million miles max., at about 20% miles for dollars, once $600K of donations is made - (.2 x 3M) then miles stop.

Currently at $500K+ in donations - so getting the bonus points is about to end. Although you can still make donations - just no UA points.
