I once donated $650 to it using my debit card. Unfortunately, my checking account didn’t have $650 in it at the time, and I had to pay an overdraft fee. (I transferred money from another account to cover the negative balance.)
My parents were very angry with me for giving away the money, saying that I was going to need my savings for myself. :P
I recommend Population Services International.

I’ve donated to them as well, on the basis of the evaluation by http://www.givewell.net/
That said, OB and LW may have convinced me that all future donations should go elsewhere e.g. towards existential risks.
