8 months agoMany of you that have followed me before I even started going to college know that I have always found it extremely important to donate to charity but deciding which charity has always been a personal preference and really, I had just been hoping that what I donate actually helps those in need but I never really knew with certainty.
This year I decided to take an Effective Altruism class in order to learn how to do the most good and how to give most effectively, very early on we had to read “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” a piece written by Peter Singer and it completely changed my entire outlook.
I know donating to charity seems fruitless, and I know that sometimes it seems like you’re just one person and your $5 dollar donation won’t make a difference, but I am here to tell you it will. Thanks to GiveWell.Org, the tractability of your donation has never been more transparent.
My goal is to raise funds to help save human lives in the most effective way possible but I need your help, please donate if you can even a dollar, share this post, and together we CAN directly save those who need our help most. This is so important to me♥️
(The last slide an excerpt from a reflection paper I wrote my Effective Altruism class)
Also shoutout to William Macaskill for writing “Doing Good Better” and for teaching Effective Altruism to the masses.
I love you if you actually took the time to read all of this, and I hope you have a great day 🩵
