These three links were posted over at [community profile] fail_fandomanon in the dedicated post for discussing Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
https://www.standwithukraine.how/ - a comprehensive, readable site in a bunch of languages that clearly indicates where your donation will go, has links to a lot of official information sources, and provides templates and resources for online and offline activism

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kBlxPToeCFXL3Mj7jSkoEe8049qmq0OLxjBEzqJaetU/htmlview -- spreadsheet managed by the Oxford University Ukrainian Society with links to donations and remote volunteering (hoping that second tab expands in the coming days)

https://respondcrisistranslation.org/en/get-involved -- do you speak Russian/Ukrainian/EU languages? Ukrainian refugees are going to need a lot of help in the coming weeks and months in the countries they've had to move to; providing translations of essential documents is a great way to pitch in (but note fluency requirements). I especially recommend checking this out as a kind of "pay it forward" thing -- even if you don't have the relevant languages to help Ukrainians, you can help out other people around the world in similar situations
Someone else posted this from a verified user:

Many of the major humanitarian and aid organisations are also providing assistance either in Ukraine or for the refugees who have reached neighbouring countries and would appreciate donations.

Please let us know in comments of any other verified and vetted places to donate.

I just called my Congressmember to ask him to support Rep. Nydia Velasquez's request to suspend the Jones Act (so foreign ships can bring aid to Puerto Rico) and not require Puerto Rico to match FEMA disaster relief funds (because Puerto Rico doesn't have the money). The staffer said she'd pass this along to him: she was generally sympathetic to the request to help Puerto Rico after the hurricane, but I'm not sure she, or Rep. Capuano, is aware of this specific.

I heard about this on my Twitter feed, and Rep. Velasquez's press release and letter to the acting secretary of homeland security are here:

Lots of great resources, worthy places to donate you probably haven't seen yet, what supplies are needed--and putting the storm in the context of a broader recovery effort.
