Update: lesson learned - read the fine print effectively
- My donation wasn't matched. I didn't do enough due diligence to read a final clause on their website that said we had to email our donation receipt somewhere.
- One 'little' mistake on my part is the difference between 50 people not stuck in poverty vs. 18 people not stuck in poverty.
- Doing good effectively = reading the fine print effectively.
Sorry, does the 1.5x match mean we donate $X and 50% of that will be matched? Or 150% of our donation will be added to the amount we donated?
Hey Madhav! The 1.5X match means that for every dollar donated, the match will provide an additional $1.50.
So if I donate $10, the match fund will provide an additional $15 for a total of $25 donated to GiveDirectly. Hope this helps!
Thank you for clarifying :-) I wasn't trying to be pedantic, I was just choosing between donating to StrongMinds with a 100% match or here.
