I have always admired Danny Thomas*. Not because of his celebrity status. But because of the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital and the fact that people who take their sick children there don't have to pay a bill.
In that regard, with respect to charities, when donating money (or other resources if I have them), I tend to look for works that deal with helping children - particularly children living in desperate poverty or suffering from serious illnesses. I don't have a specific organization or group to name. I look for an organization with that type of mission and do research to learn more about the specific work.

When I had a 9 to 5 job with a steady paycheck, I recall donating a portion of my biweekly earnings went to an organization called United Way.

Most of my donations go through my church. I routinely give to the local food banks, and make lap robes for the local nursing homes. I also participate in a Bible a month group. They provide Bibles in different languages throughout the world. I wish I could do more.
