Each year I do the majority of my Charity donations in early December (just after my birthday) spread over a few days (so as not to get my credit card suspended).
I also blog about it to hopefully inspire others. See: 2017, 2016, 2015
All amounts this year are in $US
My main donations was to Givewell (to allocate to projects as they prioritize). I’m happy that they are are making efficient uses of donations.
- $600 to Givewell
I gave some money to the Software Conservancy to allocate across the projects (mostly open source software) they support and also to Mozilla to support the Firefox browser (which I use) and other projects.
- $100 Software Conservancy
- $50 Mozilla
Next were three advocacy and infrastructure projects.
and finally I gave some money to a couple of outlets whose content I consume. Signum University produce various education material around science-fiction, fantasy and medieval literature. In my case I’m following their lectures on Youtube about the Lord of the Rings. The West Wing Weekly is a podcast doing a episode-by-episode review of the TV series The West Wing.
- $20 + ordered a $15 pin West Wing Weekly
- $50 Signum University
