School and sports things so my kids can relate to them.
Charities related to something in my life: local hospice, local cancer organizations, etc.
I prefer smaller charities but will do others as well.

Martha's Table, because I want my money to help locally and I've volunteered there enough to know what they do and how they do it.
Sometimes Capital Area Food Bank.

I don't donate to organizations that hold huge charity balls.

Thankfully many people are not like you PP.
We donate to our church (thousands), kids PTAs (hundreds), several $100-250 organizations, another few thousand to MANNA and NPR, and 1-2 other organizations we volunteer with and/or nonprofits our kids are involved with.

Another reason why I only donate to my bank account.

I think there are efficiency/efficacy tradeoffs that come with scale. The issue of awareness raising vs offering bail is not about that, it's about a mismatch between the mission and what you wamt to support, i think.
I’m annoyed about that particular experience because they claim to be running a bail bond fund, which is a very specific thing (where the money comes back to the fund after the proceedings are over) but then, when you dig a little deeper, that’s not what they’re doing.
My spouse and I agreed to set aside a larger amount of money (as I say in the $25ish range) so I’m more invested than usual when I’ve just written a $50 check to NAACP or whatever.
