Ask HN: How to donate money effectively? 2 points by mattiss 16y ago ↗ HN I'm thinking of donating some cash to a charity of some kind. How can I make sure my money will actually make a difference and be utilized properly?
[–] phreanix 16y ago ↗ You may want to look into charities and orgs that are active in the gulf cleanup efforts right now.
[–] subsection1h 16y ago ↗ If you want to allocate money to charity now and you're currently unsure how best to do so, maybe you should consider using a donor-advised fund [1]. I prefer Vanguard [2].[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donor_advised_fund[2] https://www.vanguardcharitable.org/content/donoradvisedfunds...
