Donations 2022

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 do a blog post about it to hopefully inspire others. See previous years: 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015

All amounts are in $US unless otherwise stated

General Charities

$750 to Givewell Top Charities fund . This was previously called their “Maximum impact fund”.

Software and Internet Infrastructure Projects

Last year I donated $100 each to SPI and SFC but this year I dropped it to $50 each and did direct donations to Python and Syncthing. I’m not sure which is the best strategy.
