If you're looking for examples of ineffective altruism (to illustrate the need for thoughtful giving) this somewhat sensationalist article has examples:

There's an episode of the TV show "The Office" where one of the fictional characters explains that he donates to a foundation that teaches homeless children nautical flag signaling ("for the preservation of nautical flag signaling"). Link. I always thought this would be an ideal ineffective charity example, for not ruffling any feathers & getting a laugh.
