Oddbean new post about login | logout I like to think give a man a fish. He eats for a day. Teach how to fish and eats forever. The best spare change you can give someone is not monetary.
I like to give the man the fish directly instead of giving the fish to someone else and them beating the hungry man up w the fish being like “yeah that’s what you wanted, isn’t it?” While not letting him eat the fish. I feel like that’s how sooo many charities operate !!
I don’t enough about fishing to teach the man how to fish I guess haha
Nether did the first person to think to go fishing.
In Canada all non profits 📈 have to post their breakdown of their spending in a simple format lol. Don't don't hide that 30%+ of your donation goes to fundraising companies and 20% goes to administrative and board of directors. And then the rest goes to paying the staff to run the program + whatever supplies they are supplying. It's a scam. I've board of director member of save the children Canada and she was wearing the most expensive outfit with fancy necklace and earrings. I don't trust anymore, I verify baby 😏
