I took the Giving What We Can Pledge about 2 years ago, so I don’t have much data to work off of, but in sum, I think the first year around I should have hedged my donations a bit more—I donated exclusively to Global Health and Development and feel that this was somewhat rash, but plan to diversify more this year and come up with better rationales for why X% of my donations goes to a particular cause or organization. Also, thank you for asking this question, as it might lead to somewhat more care being taken in donating.
