Every Christmas season my husband I pick a charity and each give a bit, the same amount, to "their" charity. I was thinking about that and decided to look up charities and found this handy "grader" that looks at how well a charity manages the gifts it receives:

But I was looking at all the categories at the bottom and trying to pick one and wondering what category I think is more "important" to me; where I think my little gift might do the most good.
