Hi Caleb—this is probably not quite what you’re looking for, but an example I sometimes use of the importance of looking into the effectiveness of a charity before you donate is this
—People donated millions to the “Black Lives Matter Foundation” but it turns out that is a charity that isn’t associated with the Black Lives Matter movement, but rather is one random guy who plans to use the charity’s funds to “bring police officers and members of certain neighborhoods together for an annual buffet dinner and other gatherings” and “a program that would distribute bulletins featuring positive news about police for display at local businesses.” I doubt either of those have been demonstrated to be effective interventions!
