I suppose I might be biased from ignoring all but the best charities, but I find that kind of hard to believe. Even if they throw away most of their money, if they’re a reasonably good charity, what’s left will still be worthwhile. Also, if you’re donating at random, you have a significant chance of happening on one of the really good charities. For example, according to the Disease Control Priorities Project (http://tinyurl.com/y9wpk5e) , there’s one for $3 per Disability-Adjusted Life Year. In other words, you can give someone a year’s worth of pleasure for three dollars.
Of corse, the best thing would probably to be just to point out those really good charities, like I did just now.
