This CharityScorecard.org site was in use from 2006 to 2008, but is now mostly dormant, and the material here is out of date. The GiveWell project has similar goals and is being actively maintained. I've left the old CharityScorecard.org content here just for the historical record.

Goal I'd like to fund cost-effective solutions, in order to help as many people as possible. For example, HIV prevention programs and carbon sequestration projects are both good causes, but $1,000 spent on HIV prevention will probably save more lives than $1,000 spend on carbon sequestration. This Saving Lives Scorecard uses the DALY Questionnaire to look at the cost per DALY or YLL of public health benefit.
Formula score = 50 * (DALY or YLL benefit) / (cost in USDs), ...and then rounded up to the nearest percent
Example On the FINCA International DALY Questionnaire, it estimates a cost of "US$ 862 per YLL for FINCA worldwide", so...
score = 50 * 1 / $862 = 5.8%
