You can only spend so much money on charity before you can't buy groceries anymore. Giving to one necessarily takes from the other.
There is a choice to be made, and one of the options is to give all your money marked for charity to one goal, and another is to split it. I don't think it's wrong to split between multiple causes, even if we know some causes are much more bang for your buck than others, it's a personal choice that you have to make for yourself. But it is a choice.
- ddingus 5y agoNo it doesn't. Giving to one means you gave and it is good period. Speculation on whether giving to another is artificial value and loss. If giving were required, it would work like taxes do and one getting more or anything at all does take from another. Not everyone will give, and or give multiple times. Whether money is even marked for gifts is itself a question.
