Recurring Donations

Heyyy it's January so it's time for my annual post about setting up monthly donations to charity!

I think most people don't really have much of a plan about donating to charity. If they happen to see something that makes them feel sad about some situation in the world, then they go donate, but they don't have a "rational" overall strategy for it. What I mean is, you should ask yourself these questions: How much money do I want to donate to charity this year? Which issues are important to me, which should be prioritized in my charity budget?

Pick organizations that are doing good work, and set up monthly donations to them. Even if it's just $10/month, that's great, charities like to have monthly donations. Do it this way so you can be really intentional about what your priorities are. Not haphazardly based on when somebody happened to ask you, or when you saw something in the news that made you sad.

And I'll put a plug here for RAICES, which helps immigrants in the US with legal representation. If you're looking for a way to help immigrants, donate to them~
