There is only one charity I give a few grand a year to (direct debit monthly) and thats the Brisbane Childrens Hospital.

If u cant help poor little sick kids, who can u help. As a parent it breaks my heart to see poor kids in hospital. I went there once apx 5 yeras ago, and it broke my heart.
I walked out with tears and i couldnt stomach to ever go back, but I do donate to them. I buy tickets in the Boys town charity as well as I know the guy who knocks on your door and he is the one who hands u the keys to the new car/boat /house and gold bullion etc. I have heard some amazing stories from him, both good n bad.
Those charities are fine, but giving charity to dole bludgers is against everything I believe in. Helping sick kids is good karma. Why the hell not.
