  Disagree. There are more than enough resources on effective NGO's. There is no reason to give cornell a billion dollars when that money could save hundreds of thousands of lives in the developing world.

    It's possible the guy giving away the money sees something about this organization that you don't.

      Or, more likely, he's not maximizing the impact of his donation.

        Not only is whether or not he's maximizing the impact of his donation a call he gets to make, whether or not he even wants to maximize the impact of his donation at the cost of other considerations is a call he gets to make.

          And I get to judge him for making the wrong call.

  Making the rich richer isn't charity.
