One of the easiest and most valuable ways to give back is to donate a percentage of your salary. You can donate as much as you feel comfortable with at the moment. Even a single dollar can save the life of a person.
Excellent organizations usually have three things:
- They are able to show their impact.
- They are transparent about their financial reports.
- They have a cost-effective plan: At least 75 cents for every dollar they receive directly benefits the cause they are trying to help.
Unfortunately, some organizations use less than 1 cent for every dollar that they receive for directly helping the cause they claim to be fighting for. Organizations can’t use 100% of the money they received to help the cause directly; however, most of the money should go towards having the greatest impact on their mission. Before we donate our money, we must first make sure the organization is well run. Organizations with the most cost-effective ways they implement their goals tend to have the greatest impact on society.
Fortunately, there are charity evaluator experts who rank charities based on objective measures from public data. These top-ranked organizations will make sure your hard-earned money is used for what you care about. I encourage you to look at these websites to find organizations that will help you change the world.
