Today is “Giving Tuesday”. GT
was founded by the 92nd Street Y which is a Jewish Community Center in
Manhattan. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook
fame lead the charge with a commitment to give away the vast majority of his
$45 billion fortune.
On the other hand, I got a call from a tele-marketer claiming to
represent a charity for veterans. At
best, those firms give 10% of the money collected to said charity (often less
than 1% which is essentially nothing). I
told him to not call back and hung up on him.
Vultures.
There are many worthy organizations and causes to be supported in the
US and around the world. I am a big fan
of better governance. The Sunlight Foundation and Public
Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) provide great bang for
the buck value.
