The World Wildlife Federation- or WWF has released an article from the Huffington Post listing a lot of the current relief efforts that anyone and everyone can help with. I thought I would spread the word and post a few of them here:
The American Red Cross
Save the Children
Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fun at Global Giving
These are just some of the more accessible ones. There are several.

In addition to these donation sites, the BBC has probably the best coverage of the situation in Japan right now. I have been keeping track of it since early in the morning Friday because they have a live video feed.
BBC Asia-Pac
Currently, you can go to your local Salvation Army to donate toiletries, bottled drinking water (which there is a shortage of there), and other items. From what I'm told they either have an area for you to place your donation so that they know you are donating to the Japan Relief but you may want to drop by first and ask if they are currently taking some donations. Some smaller Salvation Army's might not have a donation center.
For those in Japan, I send my deepest sympathies and most positive of thoughts.
