But if they already have a lot of cash lying around, donations to them now might not increase the amount of good they can do with it short term. Their 2018 financial statement says they had $26m cash compared to $36m donations from that year, but I don’t know how much of that they’d be able to use for this purpose. Oh, I guess “net assets without donor restrictions, $12m” is the relevant number for that?

Still, they’re currently my default.
