Comment on Ask HN: What is the most efficient way to do good?

Comments

Do your research on charities. Does the CEO have an extortionate salary? Look in your local area. Donate to food banks if available. They will help people. Personally attend the depot where people gather items from food banks to see first-hand how helpful it is, if you don't believe your contribution is helpful. In my area, everything gets cleared each week.

Along with that, ask the charity what percentage of donated funds go to the cause or what percentage is used for overhead.
