I've thought about this a lot relating to charitable giving, especially because my employer frequently offers 2x match on these kinds of donations. How does one compute 'bang for the buck' for a given donation size? How does one balance small, local socially-good institutions vs large, global socially-good institutions?

Also, some global institutions do small scale local outreach as well. Despite my employer being a large global research university, we have health clinics in low income areas and provide educational opportunities for low income neighborhoods locally.
