I’ve given a number of small talks about effective donations to various non-EA audiences. In the end—after having made my case for focusing on effectiveness in giving—I encouraged them and said: “If my argument convinced you, how about making a start and using half of your next batch of donations for the most effective charities.”
Do you see any problem in taking your research as evidence that this might be sensible advice? I know Giving Multiplier does something different. However, I wonder whether it’s similar enough to be transferable?
