Not sure why you say MSF is "almost entirely tapped out"—from MSF's website "Please note that Doctors Without Borders' response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is fully funded." Nevertheless, they're a pretty excellent charity to donate to (c.f. http://www.givewell.org/international/charities/doctors-without-borders http://www.givewell.org/international/charities/doctors-with... and note they spend over 85% of funds on programs [~12% on fundraising, and ~1% on management]).

- timr 12y agoThey're also one of the few charities to whom I donate that doesn't spam me to death after the donation. Give money to the MSF, and you get a few letters a year about what they're doing. More charities should be like that.
