Not all caused are similarly good though. That's where effective altruism comes in- organizations like GiveWell and Giving What We Can spend a lot of time calculating what charities give the most bang for your buck in terms of lives saved.

$50,000 can cover funding for an experimental cancer treatment, or it can save 10 lives from easily preventable malaria. Money goes further overseas than it does in your local community, that's a fact!
