I donate to a local group that provides housing for homeless youth. Before donating, always check where the money actually goes - there’s a few good websites for this that breaks down the org’s budget for CEO pay, marketing, etc.
I’m a member of Amnesty International, and I’ve sponsored kids through Plan Canada for about 10 years. I used to be a professional fundraiser, and those two really struck a chord with me.
UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) and MSF (Medicines Sans Frontieres) are ones I used to work with, and they both do great work too.
In Canada all registered charities are audited annually. Their financials are available online for you to review.
Wikimedia foundation and Propublica. Also just local food banks.
Eff, archive.org, local animal shelters.
