• Concept of Anyfund: Gratitude Funds for Charity

  Another possibility for Anyfund could be to allocate its funds exclusively for charitable purposes. Maybe we could have 100% eco-friendly Anytype merch? Imagine the fascination of observing community-driven charitable endeavors and sustainable initiatives, reflecting our commitment to a nurturing & open future. This could be inspired by the "noble" apps, of which I've personally used Ecosia, where the act of using... Source: 11 months ago

• Why Firefox doesn't launch their own Private search engine ?

  - Ecosia - A search engine that uses 80% of its profits from ad revenue to support tree-planting projects. They publish their finances on a monthly basis - https://blog.ecosia.org/ecosia-financial-reports-tree-planting-receipts/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Tulsa Earth Day Celebration at the Guthrie Green (Friday-Sunday)

  I literally just copy and pasted this information, but I for one am excited about Earth Day; I look forward to it every year. Also, since we're on this topic, ecosia.org is a search engine that plants trees with the ad revenue they generate (they're a carbon negative company!). Source: about 1 year ago

• Is this censorship or is the site just broken?

  If you go to ecosia.org or qwant.com on any mobile browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.,.) and search for ghandi you also get no results. Its only when the search query ends in ghandi, for example "ghanid date of birth" returns results fine. Source: about 1 year ago

• Can I get an TLDR?

  The "manor" example is one of the few points I've seen brought up in response, but it's far from clear-cut, as the forum posts linked above explain. Feel free to draw your own conclusions from them. I'm not convinced it was the best use of $15 million, but I also don't think that buying a medium-price-range conference center was an obviously bad idea, and the money came from private donors (not the standard EA...

• What about people like me who struggle to feel financially safe?

  Sure! None of the ways of donating that I know about (directly to the charities themselves, EA funds, others here) have a minimum amount or anything like that. Source: over 1 year ago

• Do you give to charity?

  It’s easy to look for excuses not to give but donations can make a big difference, especially if targeted in the right places. See comments further down about Givewell and Effective Altruism. https://funds.effectivealtruism.org. Source: over 1 year ago

  I give through Effective Altruism: https://funds.effectivealtruism.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• Effective Altruism As A Tower Of Assumptions

  Good news: If you want to support global health and development but not animal welfare, you can just donate to the Global Health and Development Fund! None of the money will go to anti-factory farming charities. Even better, you don't even need to go through EA: You could donate directly to charities recommended by GiveWell so you know exactly who's getting your money. Source: over 1 year ago
