Mitchell_Porter comments on What’s the right way to think about how much to give to charity?

[Mitchell_Porter]

I have a good intuition on how to allocate the money

Isn’t that a far more formidable problem than just deciding how much to give? Maybe you should tell us your allocation method.

I don’t mean that I have one that’s superior to anyone else’s, but there are tools to deal with this problem, various numbers that indicate risk, waste level, impact, etc. I can also decide what areas to give in based on personal preferences/​biases.
