  • Giving Done Right w/ Phil Buchanan #908
    Nov 20 2024

    Isn’t there a universal metric we can use in order to compare one charity to another? Not according to our guest today who says that we have to use the head AND the heart to determine what organizations we’re going to support. And when it comes to our motivation to give, I think it could be easy to dismiss our own efforts as just a tiny drop in the bucket. Maybe you’re giving when prompted at the checkout register, so it’s five bucks on occasion. Or maybe you are a little more disciplined or systematic about it and you give away a certain percentage of your income – but then you make recurring donations that you basically forget about. Out of sight, out of mind… but that’s not how we want you to give away your money. We want you to get the most bang for your buck! And here to help us to learn how to do that is Phil Buchanan, the president of the Center for Effective Philanthropy. He’s also the author of the book, Giving Done Right, where he emphasizes the importance of thoughtful and mission-driven giving. He has a podcast by the same name and he’s all about providing data-driven insights to help us maximize our personal impact. We talk about the limitations of effective altruism, focusing on local communities, the historical impact of philanthropy, and more!
