My general policy (which I break often) is to not give to anyone/organisation that the govt should be paying for.
For example, if a hospital needs a new scanner then the govt should pay for it. If someone is homeless then the govt should step in and assist. Its why I pay high taxes to live in a welfare society.
Otherwise charity becomes a form of tax.
As I said, it is a policy rather than a rule with me though - I am a bit of a soft touch.
Edit: Remember I am in the UK and things are a little different than in the States.
