Re: Immoral philantrophy?

I try not to give to cancer charities like breast cancer because as a function of how many people are affected by it, vs other illnesses, it is way overfunded. Not that it is a bad cause at all, just more good can come from donating to other forms of research.

I don't know if any charity is overfunded, but I see what you mean. I like to give to charity a couple of times a year, but since my own finances are tight, I can't give as much as usual. I found a couple of small charities and gave them $50 each. Not a lot of money, but what I could afford. My rationale was that $50 could help a small (5 room group home), a lot more than it could help a huge charity.
