I wish people cared more about money that was spent effectively, and less about money that was given to a charity. It's not enough to just spend money on charity, as Givewell.net notes:
Conventionally, most people expect that charities are
probably accomplishing good unless there's proof that
money is being misappropriated. We disagree: we think
that charities can easily fail to have impact, even when
they're doing exactly what they say they are.
They've raised questions about Kiva.org's effectiveness and screening process; see http://blog.givewell.org/category/kiva/ http://blog.givewell.org/category/kiva/ and http://www.givewell.org/giving101/Accomplishing-Nothing http://www.givewell.org/giving101/Accomplishing-Nothing.
