This paper tests the hypothesis that NGOs raise their flag in humanitarian hot-spots with strong media presence in order to attract higher private donations. To do this, it compares the changes in donations to US-based NGOs with and without activities in the four countries most affected by the tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004. It finds only a weak indication that private donors systematically and strongly preferred active over inactive NGOs.
