1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to the Short Stuff you generous person. You.

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm Josh and there's Chuck and this is short stuff. Uh,

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: and that means what we should begin now, that's right. Uh.

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: This is from our buddy day Ruse and how Stuff

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: works from their website. And this is one that I

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: want to wedge in there before the end of the year,

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: because if anyone is like me, you have a mad

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: scramble at the end of the year to find the

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: charity that you want to align with or charities. And

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: I feel like we do that every year and we're

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: doing that again this year. So this is some This

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: is one of those good helpful advice ones about how

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: to find and suss out the good ones. Yeah, And

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: it basically comes down to this. There are groups and

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: organizations that have websites that are dedicated to pointing you

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: in the right direction to where you can confidently and

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: comfortably donate your money and know that it's being put

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: to good use and also which one is to steer

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: clear of too. So um, there's a bunch of like

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: different points that this covers. I think this is just

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: a helpful one. Check it was a good pick. Yeah,

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: those sites and we're gonna talk about. You know, Dave

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: interviewed some of these people from these sites. But charity

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: watch and give well, Uh, those are the two standards

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: if you want to go find out if these charities

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: that you're looking into her good and worthy and honest

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: and effective. That's where you should start. But you should

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: also dig into like if your first question is are

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: they effective, dig into the charity a little bit. Go

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: to their website. They will probably if there are a

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: charity worth supporting, have an outcome section uh in their

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: annual report and check it out and see, you know,

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: if they have concrete goals that say we fed this

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: many people this year, or with this much money, we

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: can house this many people. That's a really good first

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 1: thing to look for. Yeah, and you might say, huh,

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: that seems pretty good. All right, here's a check kind

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: of thing. Um. You can also go to other sites

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: like charity watch, Give Well, Charity Navigators another good one,

40
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: and um they've done a lot of this this homework

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: for you, and in particular give well um has identified

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: like nine particular areas that certain charities are like really

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: killing it at. And the the idea is is that

44
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: these charities that they've picked that you can go and

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: be like, I'm picking this, and you will know you're

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: you're donating to one of the top best charities that's

47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: going to put your money to the best use that

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: you could possibly find. Um. And the criteria is that

49
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: they are evidence based, so they can definitely show that

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: the money you're you're donating is having an effect, um

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: their cost effective, which kind of ties into that. They're

52
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: also very transparent. That's a really big one too. You

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: don't want it to be opaque and you want to

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: be able to get a straight answer about how your

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: money is being used. And then lastly, and this is

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: really important check that I think a lot of people

57
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: don't think about they're underfunded, that they need money, they

58
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: actually need money, because there's a lot of charities out

59
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: there that actually don't need your money. Um, they're doing

60
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: just fine. These guys pick charities that I actually need

61
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: money that can really make a big impact with that money. Yeah,

62
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: and if you know, if you don't have a lot

63
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: of money to give, it's not like you know, some

64
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: places need you know, millions and millions of dollars to

65
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: build this new big whatever. Some charities, uh that they

66
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: mentioned from give Well, Like it doesn't cost a lot

67
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: of money to get uh insecticide treated nets to people

68
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: who UH to you know, in countries where they have

69
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: a malaria problem, so you know, give a little bit

70
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: of money to them, you'll know that you paid for

71
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: this many nets. And it's a really sort of inexpensive

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: way to make a difference if you don't have a

73
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: lot of doughe to give away exactly. Um. They also

74
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: they focus on give Well in particular focuses on global

75
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: health and global global poverty because those are the two

76
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: areas where like a little bit can make a big,

77
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: big difference, like literally saving lives with just you know,

78
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: a few dollars a year. Yeah. Um. Another question is

79
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: if you start to dig into charities, you're gonna find

80
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: like one of the things they broadcast is how much

81
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: their executives make, um, how much their overhead is administrative costs?

82
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Another big one is fundraising costs. How much money do

83
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: they have to spend to raise a dollar in in donations?

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: And even when you start to dig into him, you

85
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: might not really have much frame of reference, like is

86
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: half a million dollars like or a million dollars? Is

87
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: that a lot like that seems like a lot for

88
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: somebody who's running a charity, but is it. And these

89
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: sites have actually kind of gone to the trouble of

90
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: like really getting into the nitty gritty to say like, actually,

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: this is a really good charity despite that metric. Yeah,

92
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: Like what you need to look at is percentages, and

93
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: they will help you break it down, or the website

94
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: usually breaks it down for you. But they recommend to

95
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: look for a minimum of sixty of the charity's budget

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: going on direct program services. And if you really want

97
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: like an efficient charity, that'll be closer to but not

98
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: to be um, like, don't look at the raw numbers

99
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: because just because the charity like spends next to nothing

100
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that could make them actually less effective running

101
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: on a shoestring. Like you got to spend a little

102
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: money to a raise the money like you talked about

103
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: and to be effective. So uh, don't just look at

104
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: a larger number for administrative costs and dismiss it out

105
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: of hand. You want to look at that percentage. Yeah.

106
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: Another thing that they do is also they see through

107
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: the or they know the kind of tricks that some

108
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: less reputable charities will do to make themselves feel look

109
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: more efficient, like they attract more money. Um. And so

110
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: they'll have sorted through all this when you go to

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: like these sites. And also, just while we're talking about this, Chuck,

112
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: our beloved co ED Cooperative for Education, UM, so highly

113
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: efficient charity spends about sev on programming. Co ED spends

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: eighty five point two percent directly to program and also

115
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: there there um uh you know Joe the executive director,

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: he breaks in seventy five grand a year for this

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: and he's he runs the show. Um. They also have

118
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: an efficiency rating to where they spend nine cents for

119
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: every dollar that they raise in donations, which is really outstanding.

120
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Plus lastly, Chuck, they're underfunded too. They can survive one

121
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: point five seven years on their current funds, which means

122
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: that they can actually use the money that you send

123
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: them and then you you'll know they're putting it to

124
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: good use. To Yeah, I mean, some of these charities

125
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: that you go to can survive the next twenty years,

126
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: like without getting another dollar, which is great. That means

127
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people have given. But maybe maybe seek

128
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: out the underfunded is some good advice. Should we take

129
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: a break. Yeah, let's all right, we'll take a break

130
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back with a few more tips

131
00:06:39,080 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: for you. All right, good tips so far? Another one

132
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: so far? I agree? And boy that's I knew that

133
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: about co ED, but every time I hear it, it's

134
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: just heartwarming. It's a good a good charity that we

135
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: got aligned with many years ago. Uh. One question that

136
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people ask is it better to give

137
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: small donations to a few charities are one bigger donation

138
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: to one? And you know this sort of is a

139
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: personal decision to a large degree. Uh, what they really

140
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: suggest is don't just spread it around to spread it around,

141
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: only spread it around if you can really dig in

142
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: and do this kind of research to make sure you're

143
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. Yes, which is a great I mean,

144
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: that's just great advice. Like you you you, it doesn't

145
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: seems as long as you're you're not following for like

146
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: the marketing and you're actually like giving each charity that

147
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: you're you're you're donating to like the same amount of

148
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: thought that you would if you just focused on one.

149
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: Why not? It doesn't hurt at all. Um. But there's

150
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: a person over at give well, um who points out, like,

151
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: if you're going to if you're going to pick a charity, though,

152
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: there's a way you can even maximize it further, which

153
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: is to give a roughly the same amount every year

154
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: about the same time every year, because then they'll start

155
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: to see that, oh, wait, we can depend on this

156
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: this check from Chuck, who's a super nice guy. He

157
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: sends it in every year, and they'll actually like figure

158
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: that into their budget and then start planning according accordingly,

159
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: rather than being like, we can only afford this this

160
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: year and then all of a sudden they have more

161
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: money for nets, but they didn't order nets early enough

162
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: and now there's a problem and malaria's still spreading. They'll

163
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: be able to budget for more nets if they know

164
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: that there's a certain amount coming from you each year.

165
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: That's right. And if you give them a pretty good

166
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: donation that they'll probably email you and say, hey, this

167
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: is great. Uh, can we count on you for next year? Yeah,

168
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: because you know, they gotta they got to figure out

169
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: that budget and it really helps them to know what

170
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: they're looking at year after year. But that's right. Also, Chuck,

171
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: if it's if it's really big enough and it's a

172
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: terrible charity, they'll send you a gold plated diamond encrusted

173
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: malaria as a thank you gift so you can wear

174
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: it around to fancy holiday parties and just be like,

175
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: oh this, I got this for donating. Another question is

176
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: you know, are you being scammed as this charity of fraud?

177
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: There are frauds, for sure, I think in Dave points

178
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: out that the FTC investigated and found more than a

179
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 1: hundred actions against dozens of fraudulent charities. Uh. Sadly, a

180
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: lot of these were claiming to serve US military veterans

181
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: in their families, which is just reprehensible of course, but uh,

182
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen as much as you might be afraid

183
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: it does. But you need to like make sure you're

184
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: donating to the charity. A lot of them have similar

185
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: names to really great charities. So one example that they

186
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: pointed out was the Breast Cancer Research Foundation versus the

187
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: Breast Cancer Research and Support Foundation. And Breast Cancer Research

188
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Foundation is great. They get an A plus and their

189
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: budget goes to supporting breast cancer research and they spend

190
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: seven dollars for every one raises. The Breast Cancer Research

191
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: and Support Foundation earns an f from charity Watch eight

192
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,479
Speaker 1: percent eight percent of its budget goes to to actual programming,

193
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: and it spends eighty seven dollars for every hundred that

194
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: it collects. Yeah, not on programming, yeah A seven Yeah,

195
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: go on gold plated mosquito nets. Probably maybe, But you know,

196
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: that's just a point. It's like, I'm not gonna like

197
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: call them a scam or anything, so I haven't done

198
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: a lot of research on them, but those numbers are

199
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: really bad, and their name is awfully close to a

200
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: really good breast cancer organization. Yeah, and the fact that

201
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: they are just seems a little fishy. But I think

202
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: and even an even bigger trap that you have to

203
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: watch out for, especially if you're trying to suss out

204
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: whether a charity is good when are not on your own,

205
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: is that, Um, there's a lot of charities out there

206
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: that just they mean well and they're trying to do well,

207
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: they're just not that good at it, and so your

208
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: money is just not going to be spent as wisely

209
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: as it might with another charity. Again, the way to

210
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: resolve this is to just go to charity watch, Charity Navigator,

211
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: give Well, some of those sites that really know what

212
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: they're doing, and say, oh, this is highly rated, I'll

213
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: give them some money. Yeah. I think sometimes people forget

214
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: these are nonprofit businesses, and running a business is still

215
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: running a business, and some people aren't very good at it.

216
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: That's right. What was the last one here? The last

217
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: one is and a lot of people want to give

218
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: locally to help their communities, and that is absolutely great, um,

219
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: But the but don't do it well. The thing is

220
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: is if you are doing that, there's a good chance

221
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: that if you stop and reflect on it, you might

222
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: come to the conclusion that you're doing this to feel

223
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: good about yourself, maybe to to the for the fields

224
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: you get out of it. And if you really stop

225
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: and look at um with a just a just a

226
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: kind of sober view of how to help the most

227
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: people with the you know, whatever money you're donating, you're

228
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: probably going to find that there's people outside of your community,

229
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: whether you wherever you live in the developed world that

230
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: it might even benefit from it more. Who knows. I

231
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: don't think anybody in charity says don't give locally. It's

232
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: just saying don't overlook global charities, including big ones, um

233
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: entirely in favor of giving locally, like consider consider both. Yeah,

234
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: and I think one piece of a device they gave.

235
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: Which is really good is look at it from a

236
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: cause point of view, Like if you're uh, if you're

237
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: into the environment, let's say, and you really want to

238
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: support the environment as your only cause this year or

239
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: next year or every year, maybe look into a local

240
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: thing that's doing something like planting trees locally in neighborhoods.

241
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: And then maybe also look at a big global environmental

242
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: uh cause that can our charity that can really have

243
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: a big impact. And that way you're kind of spreading

244
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: the wealth and covering a cause that you love in

245
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: both ways. That's right. Good. Whatever you do, just make

246
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: sure that you're you're giving to a good charity. And

247
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: bless you for for donating in the first place. However

248
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: you donate, blesses everyone. But since Chuck said blesses everyone,

249
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: of course everyone, that means short stuff is out. Stuff
