In case you were thinking of giving to Operation Blessing
I found this on the blog Static Brain on a post about Robertson.
Robertson's net worth is between $200 million and $1 billion USD according to the 2002 book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy by Greg Palast. Through his ostensibly charitable organization, Operation Blessing International, Robertson claims to have spent $1.2 million bringing aid to refugees in Rwanda. His critics, such as Palast, claim the money was actually spent to bring heavy equipment for Robertson's African Development Corporation, a diamond mining operation. He has purchased thoroughbred race horses, although he has stated on many occasions he is opposed to gambling. Robertson claims he bought the horses because he is "amazed by their athleticism".

I too wonder about the bookkeeping. I know Habitat for Humanity actually does what it says it does and the CEO salary is reasonable. Red Cross gives their main person almost half a million.
