Which Red Cross Fund?

I donated via Randy's link, but then I went to the Red Cross site where it looks like I donated to the wrong fund. If I intended my aid to go primarily to the tsunami victims, I think the fund for that is the "International Response Fund", yet the Flyertalk Cares link went to the "Disaster Relief Fund" - their site isn't exactly too clear on this but I get the impression the DRF is for domesic aid. Perhaps they move the money around in extreme circumstances.

I donated again via the red cross's own page to the IRF, because I wanted to cover both bases.

Randy, can you explain more about the DRF vs. IRF funds if you know? Also, was my donation via the Red Cross's own page lessened by some credit card fees?
