Donations 2025

Each year I do the majority of my Charity donations in early December, timed to be around my birthday.

I do a blog post about it to hopefully inspire others. See previous years: 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015

All amounts are in $US unless otherwise stated.

General Charities

$600 to Givewell Top Charities fund . I’ve been donating to Givewell as my main “help the poor” charity since they have fairly low overheads and try and get the most impact from their donations. They also get good reviews for living up to these goals.

My employer matched this donation so total given to Givewell was $1790.

Software and Internet Infrastructure Projects

The Software Freedom Conservancy use Paypal which is blocking charity donations from Asia/Pacific so I was unable to donate to them. Software in the Public Interest was previously not working but worked this year.

Content Creators

Other Projects

$NZ 100 to Greater Auckland for the Transport Advocacy and Content

Payments via Patreon / Nebula

I pay around $1/month to most of the below creators and I also pay $30/year for a Nebula subscription.
