Well, the real question is how do you know that the money you give to a company like NETWORK FOR GOOD, or the American Red Cross actually goes to the Japan Relief? Yahoo does not collect the donations, their links take you to charities which receive referrals from many other companies besides Yahoo. Usually, organizations like that have to disclose their financial activities. I can't vouch for them personally, but I doubt they are buying yachts and champagne with donations.

When you donate, you are not giving money to Yahoo!, you are actually donating through the "Network for Good" (http://www1.networkforgood.org/about-us), to a specific organization or charity that you select via a link. The main Yahoo! article on how to donate to relief is: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_newsroom/20110311/wl_yblog_newsroom/japan-earthquake-and-tsunami-how-to-help. Each charity has its own specific link in the article, each charity also has a 'View Full Report on this organization' link on the donation page, so you can check out their specific financial information.
