<prompt> Human: Its that time of year again. Heres my strategy for charitable giving:All donations made in December except for monthly public radio membership and guilt-tripped United Way contribution at workIn addition to the above, 10,000 split equally among five organizationsThis amount constitutes 5 of annual household gross income, 0.25 of net worth, and about 20 of post-expenses net incomeAll five organizations are local to my city or state, four of which are below 2M in annual revenue remaining one is local food bank. They are: local animal rescue, organization teaching nonviolence and economic opportunity in gang-ridden neighborhoods, arts education for high risk kids, community food bank, and local ACLU chapterPlan to sustain gifts through repeat annual contributions if possible, political contributions will be on top of thisAny thoughts? Should I be doing anything differently to maximize impact and social good? Whats your plan?  <response>: ... And you know about possibly deducting it from your income taxes so that you get some back?They way you divide it is the way you divide it. My division is 60 of charitable giving is aimed at humans, 40 at animalsnature; plus also within the donation for humans, 60 is for diseases and disasters and 40 is for combatting poverty.
