This is my 4th year in a row donating to Fistula Foundation on IWD, and trying to get others to donate as well. I usually do something a little extra to get some attention (one time I slept outside for a week in the winter; now a days I do a personal donation match up). I have had great uptake among family and friends (and even some strangers), to donate to FF, and on top of that… to know the important work that FF does… and to also be more educated about effective giving in general. (Hearing people put this in their own words at a later date… who learned about it through me… is an awesome experience.)
As far as posting to feminist-themed reddits and facebook groups etc, I have tried, with little attention gained, and no donations that I know of. I think this can be good still though; sometimes you just need to phrase it the right way, post at the right time, get it to the right person, etc.
Anyway, let me know over there, or over here, if you have any thoughts. It’s last minute, but curious if you have any thoughts about this year; and also if you might be interested to possibly team up for next year.
Hey! Jackson alerted me to this post, cause I just posted something similar: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/LRcy4cSmgmXxhy8ym/power-of-int-l-women-s-day-march-8
