• Reminder: Find some efficient and experienced charities to regularly give to

  Someone just invited me to give to a charity, so I thought I'd share the reminder to you, fellow rich non-tithing-payers, haha. https://charitywatch.org appears to be very thorough, sincere, and experienced since 1992. Source: over 1 year ago

  It isn't baseless. Go look them up on charitywatch.org. You my friend are the one being lazy. Source: almost 2 years ago

• "homeless and need money" signs with kids alongside.

  Just keep in mind that many charitable groups are not that well-run, or even scammy themselves. There are good resources at places like givewell.org, and charitywatch.org, to get ratings on how effectively various charities use the money they raise. Source: about 2 years ago

• TIL that in addition to Red Cross organizations, there are also Red Crescent and Red Crystal organizations, with the symbols localized for acceptance by the community of each nation that has such an organization. In the past there was also a Red Lion and Sun (Iran).

  That isn't true. You need to learn how to do accurate research in terms of non-profits. You can look all of this information up on charitynavigator.org or charitywatch.org. You should absolutely know how your donations are being used and be confident in your donations, but you should not get your information from internet memes and then continue to spread blatantly inaccurate information.

• Question about thrifting in America

  Charitywatch.org issued a report in 2019 that doesn't look too bad. Unless the org is blatantly lying about pulling salaries from the companies tax records, then the CEO made less than 7 figures. Some people might feel that is excessive and that people should run massive non-profits out of the goodness of their hearts, but I personally see no issue with using a high salary to attract the best person for the job. I... Source: about 2 years ago

• What are the most secure ways to definitively check the legitimacy of a charity or nonprofit?

• Operators Guide to the Brain

  I see no reference to a 501c3 filing for this organization and charitywatch.org seems not to have heard of you. And your website says you're not a VSO, which would require some recognition of the part of the government. Source: over 2 years ago

• I rent out rooms in the apartment I own in Berlin. I sense a lot of hate against me. Here is my story. Can you explain to me what I did or do wrong and what to change?

  The rent I ask for my rooms is 600€ each, of which I get circa 400€ and the rest goes to taxes. I don't think people consider it fair. But what's fair? I'm happy to share my place if it means that I can save 800€. While I prefer to live alone, have an office and play room and no legal\drama problems, if the saving I can get by sharing is only 400€. What should I then, not rent, or rent for an unfair... Source: over 2 years ago

• Do apes want to change the world for the better AND pay less taxes? Let's apply some of the skills that help produce the MINDBLOWING DD on r/superstonk to picking out Charities - like which charities are legit, and which would improve the planet the most per dollar invested.

  Also, I glanced at https://charitywatch.org/ and it contains a list of known propaganda terrorist manufacturing service providers right on the front page, which immediately invalidates that resources, or, rather, it provides a useful resource to convert to the exact opposite of suggestions, such that the list is probably worthy of AVOIDING/BOYCOTTING those that are listed. I didn't actually look at their website... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Melvin Crapital, Shitadel and Robbing Hood...I’m coming after your mansions, yachts, private jets, Rolls Royces, Rolex watches, artwork and the rest of your money. I’m going to donate $$$ to charity and live a modest life...

  Sure but when it isn't a local charity where you know what they really do then you should at least check out charitywatch.org or something similar. There are really bad apples which waste nearly all money on employees and advertisement. Source: about 3 years ago
