Does your employer have a donation matching program?
It’s a great time of year to donate to the EFF.
It’s a great time of year to donate to the EFF.
Edit: I can only find services marketed towards the nonprofit, not for the donor. A service that aggregated and automated all the nonprofits I want to regularly donate small amounts to would be great. I think it would be important to not require the nonprofits direct involvement in order to allow me to donate as diversely as I want.
Database of approved nonprofits, can set up arbitrary amounts as recurring payments, and automatic matching if you do the donations through their site.
It’s not quite “I got $500 this month to give back, scatter it amongst my chosen charities” but you could definitely use a service like that to set up baseline donations.
I don’t do scheduled donations; prefer to spool it up and make a splash when employer offers 2:1 match. Don’t think I’ve seen that in all of ‘23, though, so settling for 1:1 now.
I just did my end of year matching gift donating through the portal at work.
I guess I left out Ukraine, which needs fixing. But did get FSF, EFF, the regional food bank, and a niche human rights org.
Let me tell you, causing my employer donate to the EFF in particular is always one of the high points of my year. Even better when there’s 2:1 matching, which they seem to not offer this year (I dig deep in my own pocket when they do have that because, hey, 2:1!). It’s hilarious and oh so satisfying.
