I thought the USAID Funding Cuts webpage buried the lede a bit given the stated purpose of the page is to “answer the most common question we’re hearing right now: How can donors help?”, so in case it helps, GW’s answer is “If you want to help respond to this situation, donating to our funds based on your giving preference remains our recommendation.”
(Bit tangential, but I noticed the karma on this post drop from 17 to 9 within 3 minutes and wondered why the strong(?) downvote—a single downvote seems more plausible in 3 mins than a sudden flurry. Curious if strong-downvoters can say why.)
Wasn’t me, but accidentally upgrading one’s vote to a strongvote on mobile isn’t difficult. So the possibility of the karma drop being from reversion of a strong upvote vs. being from a strong downvote should be considered.
