You can text "HAITI" to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross relief for Haiti, charged to your cell phone bill. Or you can text "YELE" to 501501 to automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund, also charged to your cell phone bill. The list is just a starting point for you and your own research. There are a number of online tools available for evaluating charities and making donations to a broader range of NGOs, including CharityNavigator.org and NetworkForGood.org.
