And sell more books - that's the real reason breadpig puts profits into nonprofits related to the product. Higher literacy rates means more potential book buyers. It's quite sinister, really.
We did the same thing with LOLmagnetz (for the SF SPCA) so that more dogs & cats get adopted, creating more dog & cat owners and thus more potential LOLmagnetz buyers.
- rms 16y agoI don't believe that you are actually sinister here. I think it's more like you are claiming to be sinister because the process of narrowing down which specific charity to support out of the vast array of needy charities just feels evil. Literacy is a good cause. If I was in your position, it would be hard for me to pick a specific cause like literacy over saving the most human lives per dollar. Out of all the developing country education charities, Givewell rates Pratham highest. http://www.givewell.net/international/charities/pratham http://www.givewell.net/international/charities/pratham Have you considered them for the next Breadpig book project?
