This site offers many interesting tips. Here are their recommendations for how to save lives. Their first pick, Population Services International, distributes condoms and insecticide-soaked bednets. Here is a New York Times article about their operation.
The pointer is from Michael Vassar, a regular MR commentator.
“distributes condom and insecticide-soaked bednets”?
Really? What a horrible mental image.
I think you meant “condoms and insecticide-soaked bednets”. I’m having trouble trying to imagine condom-soaked bednets…
Mike: Tell them with your very first donation to toggle all privacy/no contact preferences on your donor record so they don’t spam you or sell your information to other organizations to spam you. The latter is really important, because once your name and address are out there it’s really hard to stay off lists, even if you’ve told to original charity not to stop sharing your information in the future.
Taking Landsburg’s admonition to heart (or, um, digestive tract) I only contribute to the American Restroom Association (“America’s advocate for the availability of clean, safe, well designed public restrooms†), a 501(c)(3) charity.

“Because whenever I give to a worthy cause, unsolicited, they put me on their mailing list and send me endless letters asking for more.”
Mike: Or you could just give to the Mercatus Center, and they’ll send you beanie babies.
