Eeek! Conflicting answers. I was thinking "is" but it's sounding strange to me.

"none of which is more deserving" or "none of which are more deserving"?
Okay, from googling, it appears the internet disagrees about whether none is singular or plural. What's the full context of the sentence?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
see that's why I'm thinking plural, because none refers back to organizations.
