To mark my 60th birthday, I decided to earmark a particular amount (not disclosed here) to give to charitable causes.
Progress to date: 41 % of total earmarked has been donated
I signed up for “Daily Giving” where you donate the equivalent of USD 1 per day (charged monthly). It’s really geared to those in the USA who want a tax-break, but I decided to do it as the organisation that I work for is a beneficiary. Every day, you receive an email from them telling them how much they are distributing that day, and some info about the charity. It has exposed me to some charities I didn’t know about, and has helped me with my “extra” giving. There are also organisations that I do not align with, but that’s all good.
I have also supported non-official fundraisers like boots for a friend’s battalion,, bakery treats for chayalim, the Jewish Center in Speyer, and various other causes.
