Thanks for the initiative Abraham! This seems like an interesting and valuable experiment.
One crucial question I have: Is it somehow possible to make sure that I can make tax deductible donations? I live in Germany and Effektiv Spenden does not cover all of these cause area options, as far as I know /​ can see. For instance, I don’t think I could donate tax-deductibly to any of the EA Community Building options from Germany.
Thanks! This is a great point. I’ll work on getting some German-deductible options on the list for all categories for future months, but also can confirm that the pool has up to $1,500 (and potentially more) in donation swappable dollars to help navigate this right now.

@Moritz Stumpe, there is an extra donation form on Effektiv Spenden’s website, which has an EA cause area section: https://​​effektiv-spenden.org/​​spenden-effektiver-altruismus/​​.
There you can donate to Effektiver Altruismus Deutschland and CEA tax-deductibly from Germany.
Oh, nice, I didn’t see that. Thanks so much Sebastian!
