Essay: How To Give
Manage episode 406271109 series 2078952
This week:
There are few problems so simple that a single donation can fix them.
Usually, to turn a problem into a realistic opportunity takes many donations. Over time, spread over a large number of donors.
But all the work before that is kind of exhausting: you’ve gotta make sure your donation goes to the right place, the right organization, the right people — usually the ones closest to the problem — with the most pragmatic intentions.
Here's What You Can Do:
- Donate to Give Directly and put cash straight into the pockets of the people who need it the most.
- Volunteer with Overdose Lifeline to support their harm reduction and awareness efforts.
- Get educated about starting a resilience hub in your community with resources from the USDN.
- Be heard about making healthy school meals free for students everywhere.
- Invest in a sustainable future and find a clean bank to move your money into using bank.green.
