With being paused or all out shuttered, please consider increasing your generosity toward organizations that truly do align with your values.

There are good people doing amazing work local to you and around the world.

What if the impact of cutting back on that government spending was an outpouring of cheerful, voluntary, generosity?

@SecondJon And private charity has a history of being much better managed. For ever dollar in USA I'D $.50 went to the beracraucy.

@SecondJon non-profits are shit gimmicks full of useless grifting retards.

@Sirpantangelini certainly there's good and bad nonprofits.

Don't just give to anything that's categorized by the government as a nonprofit. Everyone should do their research and decide based on values alignment, effectiveness, and stewardship.

And if you can't find one or are too cyclical to trust any, donate your own time.

Or do both.

Makes me wonder how much the Salvation Army received from USAID.

My guess is $0

@threalist my favorite nonprofit has never accepted a dollar or government funds. A quick web search found The Salvation Army's annual report which shows they receive over $640,000 from the federal government.

Doesn't mean it's fraud and abuse. It's just a funding decision large nonprofits need to make.
