You want to help others, but giving some coins to a local beggar seems like a “drop in the ocean”?
And how can you make sure that whatever you donated is spent well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little over a year ago, I took the giving pledge. I’m confident to put a small portion of my income in the hands of GiveWell, and I don’t regret it. In fact, as they use “Effective Altruism” principles to make sure money gets to the most effective charities first, I have ‘statistically’ helped save an entire human life this year.
Cool, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
