"smart"? I'm not so sure. That assumes doing good deeds later (forever later really) is more valuable than doing them now/soon.

- boringg 4y agoId say being able to fund people to work on a problem over a long haul has a lot of value. Theres obvious short term needs and funding that is also important. I guess it also depends on how that money is making money

I think we can at least appreciate many instances of endowments. A great example might be universities...some of which have been around for hundreds of years c/o endowments. It also allows individual programs and facilities to be funded forever so they do not need to fight yearly for budgets. https://www.harvard.edu/about/endowment/ https://www.harvard.edu/about/endowment/
