Sorry if the answer for this is readily available elsewhere, but are there recommended times of the year to donate if you are based in the UK, e.g. to make use of matching opportunities? My understanding is that the Giving Tuesday facebook matching is only for US donors.
Basically anyone can donate to the Giving Tuesday fundraiser and participate, but only for US donors it’s tax-deductible.
From the EA Giving Tuesday FAQ: >Donors from a large number of countries are eligible to donate through Facebook and get matched. However, in both 2019 and 2020 most non-U.S. donors faced significantly lower donation limits. We expect the same to be true in 2021. [This year, the donation limit for US donors is USD 20,000.] Additionally, please be aware that donors outside the United States will likely lose out on any tax benefits they’d receive from donating to a nonprofit registered in their own country.
International donors can give to RP through the EA Funds. As a UK donor, your gift is eligible for Gift Aid and would typically be tax-deductible. We explain all of this on our donation page: https://​​rethinkpriorities.org/​​donate
We don’t regularly run matching campaigns ourselves, but it’s not excluded we may set up one in the course of the next year. The best way to stay informed about upcoming opportunities is our newsletter. Your gift is welcome at any time of the year!

Regarding other matching opportunities: Check out https://​​www.every.org/​​rethink-priorities. They still seems to have some funds available from their FallGivingChallenge for a 100% match!
