Essay: How To Give

This week:

There are few problems so simple that a single donation can fix them.

Usually, to turn a problem into a realistic opportunity takes many donations. Over time, spread over a large number of donors.

But all the work before that is kind of exhausting: you’ve gotta make sure your donation goes to the right place, the right organization, the right people — usually the ones closest to the problem — with the most pragmatic intentions.

Here's What You Can Do:

  • Donate to Give Directly and put cash straight into the pockets of the people who need it the most.

  • Volunteer with Overdose Lifeline to support their harm reduction and awareness efforts.

  • Get educated about starting a resilience hub in your community with resources from the USDN.

  • Be heard about making healthy school meals free for students everywhere.

  • Invest in a sustainable future and find a clean bank to move your money into using bank.green.
