I selfishly donate to organizations that specifically fight for causes that matter to me, like the EFF and ACLU. I don't think my 'charity' is worthwhile when there are so many systemic problems in the world that require massive intervention.

So you would be more likely to give to an organization like the aclu than you would a specific person in need? Say a child that is hungry. Not children that are hungry but a specific child that you knew you were feeding? Would that be less interesting to you because as you fed them, you knew that their were still systematic problems that need attending to?
