For the past few years or so, I’ve become increasingly surprised by how few people mention effective giving when I asked them about their current efforts or future plans to do good. I don’t know if that is because it’s actually the case that few people donate – or because almost all people do so it’s not worth mentioning it. I’m sad that effective giving is appearing to have such a minor role in EA, particularly since I think effective giving is an excellent way to keep this community grounded.
Anyways, I really appreciate you lending your voice to effective giving and your great work at GWWC—keep it up!
Thank you so much for this post, Luke!
