Not really a donation (more a purchase), but what I like with Humble Bundle [0] is that I can choose what percentage of money I want to give to which organisation. Usually there are 3 options:

- The developers of the software in the bundle

- Humble Bundle organisation

- Charities

Usually I send 90% of my "donation" to the developers of the software and 10% to the Humble Bundle organisation.

Perhaps charities should have a similar donation mechanism where one can choose what percentage of ones' donation should be spent on:

- Management

- Marketing

- Field workers

- Charity itself

- Other ...?

Given such options, I might choose to spend 5% on Management, 10% on field workers and remaining 85% on the charity itself.
