Happy Giving Tuesday!
A friend inspired me to share my giving story and some of my favorite charities.
I was raised to love all and to give generously with my time, money, and spirit, aspirations I strive to live up to.
When I first read The Life You Can Save in 2009, I realized that I could and should be doing more to help others wherever they are. It wasn't until 2011 when I came across GiveWell and Giving What We Can that I really put these ideas into action. I pledged to donate at least 10% of my income to effective charities and was driven to study business in hopes that I could earn to give more (I still don't make "make much" but it is a lot from a global perspective).

Between now and the end of the year, I will allocate my donations as follows:
