When couples disagree about the moral obligations of charitable giving

My husband and I are arguing about contributing to charity because he wants to research maximum impact while I want to give locally to people we can see, and we're realizing this is about whether money represents rational optimization or human connection. We both want to do good but can't agree on what good means.
