I agree! I am not so utilitarian that I say to the homeless, "Sorry I can't give you a dollar, it would better serve those who need malaria medicine" :D.
There's something to be said about helping those around you directly as a way to build a better local community. Especially when you can help 'for free' (e.g. by helping someone with a flat, as I mentioned).
Now, that said, if we are talking about giving out $10'000, and we're sort of encouraging more to do it (by sharing how we donate), at that magnitude and scale I think it would be better if we encouraged people to donate more effectively.
