I also don't like donating to the big organizations since most of the money donated goes towards paying people instead of actually helping people out. I'd try and keep it local like a woman's shelter or something like that.
True, I don't know what the overhead on the B&B Gates Foundation is. But the thing about big charities is they have the power to really make a difference if they are going the right direction. I find that while smaller ones really have the best of intentions, they don't really have enough power to make a big difference. IMO anyways.
