I never give to any charity, all information I have makes me strongly believe that increasing per capita income is the best long term solution to most of the problems. I believe there are a few exceptions, polio eradication effort comes to mind, that can give important and lasting results for little money, but I have seen very little research supporting any of them.
So GiveWell gets my vote, even if not my money - no rationalist should be giving any money to any charity that doesn't publish its effectiveness data.

"I never give to any charity, all information I have makes me strongly believe that increasing per capita income is the best long term solution to most of the problems."
There's no logical connection between these. If you think that working at your job and maximizing your income/productivity is your best personal contribution, there's still the question of what to spend your disposable income on.
