Of course I'm a huge fan of philanthropic initiatives like this and I hope more people do get involved but I also want to mention there's no reason to wait and that there are more and less effective ways to give in order to do the most good (as in have the highest impact) with your money. If you're a founder or have equity, I recommend checking out Founders Pledge (https://founderspledge.com/ https://founderspledge.com/). If you're someone who wants to just do good as an individual, I recommend checking out Giving What We Can which helps individuals direct their donations to effective causes that are the highest impact possible based on their assessment (https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/giving-recommendations/ https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/giving-recommendations/)
If you're just looking for a more impactful career, then 80K hours has a job board and great resources/quizzes to help point you in the right direction (https://80000hours.org/ https://80000hours.org/)
- ChrisGranger 7y agoI agree with your sentiment that there's no reason to wait. People need help today, and giving now could even be done in the rich person's own self-interest: Who doesn't want to live in a better world?
