The problem w/ charity.
I get a few requests to contribute to this or that.
But often 1 I am not sure if these are legitimate outfits or they are just after your credit card number.
And 2 when they seem legitimate, are you just paying for their bureaucracy.
Can this be solved?

The researchers at Givewell give you the answers to these (and other relevant) questions and identify extremely good charities. givewell.org
An example for one of their reports on a particular charity:

And if a website is not "legitimate" enough, have a look at the book "Doing Good Better" by William MacAskill for example
I want to like Give Well but they perpetuate the vertical, disease specific approach to health. Vit A is no help if you've got COVID and deworming is no use if you need stitches. Comprehensive public health for all!
