Give Till It Hurts

Hey,

Do you give to charity(ies)? If so, how did you decide that this was a charity you wanted to donate to? I'm trying to figure out some system of charitable giving and I'm using Charity Navigator to get a sense of what's out there and what kinds of organizations get their work done as opposed to funding their next fundraiser. They suggest (and a little googling around backs this up), that rather than give to a wide range of organizations, make bigger contributions to a few charities that you really care about. But there's a lot of good causes out there that could use some cash. How do you go about choosing?
