Donation/Philanthropic Advice

15


15 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 23, 2017

Are you currently donating to charities? Are you thinking of donating to more? Are you worried about budgeting? Not sure how to evaluate different charities? Concerned about whether you should donate to one charity, or many?

While I can't precisely answer many of those questions, I can provide consultation/frameworks to help you carefully think those questions through.

Training & Qualifications


I am extremely involved with the Effective Altruism movement. I took the Giving What We Can pledge to donate 10% or more of my lifelong income to the charities that I think are most effective at helping others, and keep to the pledge.

You can see some of my considerations and interviews about charities here:

Availability & Preferences


weekdays after 6pm (California time) and Saturdays after noon.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!
