That sounds like a good idea. The flat-% of the paycheck requires one to budget around it, which sounds like a healthy way to live financially (if you have excess funds I mean.)
Regarding distributing to different charities, I don't have the economic knowledge necessary to consider that :p I feel like I should learn this stuff on YouTube or something

i budget a flat percentage of my net income towards charity. from this bucket of money i allot donations to specific causes and projects as i feel the need to, and whatever is left over i split evenly among a few orgs i generally feel are the closest to my own beliefs. when i die, any assets i have accumulated should be sold to cover any outstanding debts and any money left over should go to those same organizations in the same way. i say "should" because that's what i've set up in my will (but obviously i won't be around to see it).
i have no idea if this is the best way or not.
