Thanks for asking.
I do not have any specifics for the organizations.
I included phone numbers where I could find them. Links provided will get you to the web sites with more info as well as donation process.

I definitely know Puna Community Medical center is on Amazon Smile.
Thank you for this, hd ...
Does anyone know what is most directly going to people evacuated due to lava? Haven someone asking for that specifically.

I always kick myself for making an amazon order after forgetting to type in smile.amazon.com for fear a non-profit just missed out on a free donation. Not anymore:
Purchases Eligible for AmazonSmile Donations
You will see eligible products marked "Eligible for AmazonSmile donation" on their product detail pages on smile.amazon.com.
Recurring Subscribe & Save purchases and subscription renewals are not currently eligible. Donations are not made for products that are returned.
For more information, please go to http://smile.amazon.com/about
While amazon says that "tens of millions" of items are eligible, I looked and I can't find a single item I've ever purchased that was eligible for this program. I randomly clicked on products in amazon and none of them were eligible either. While I would encourage every non-profit to sign up for this program, I would discourage them from spending any amount of time or money promoting it because I doubt the return on the investment would be worth it.
ETA: I will still go through smile if I see an item is eligible, but so far that has never happened.

I always go through Smile; Amazon reminds me if I forget. I don't look for products listed as eligible, but a quick, random check of recent orders showed 100% eligibility.

I have my browser homepage set to
http://www.goodsearch.com/goodshop (so I don't forget!). Amazon and bunches of other retailers make donations if you access their sites through goodshop.
