It's a holiday season and at New York Times opinion, Nick Kristoff many years ago kicked off a tradition, which I love. It's one of my favorite parts about being here, where different columnists and parts of the organization offer up their recommendations for giving, try to make people aware of charities, philanthropies they might want to support, where money that they can spare might do a tremendous amount of good. In my personal giving every year, I give some of the money I'm giving to a local charity, but then I give a lot of it to GiveWell. And the reason I give it to GiveWell is that of every organization I know of, I have the most trust in them to vet, to run the experiments, to read the research, to really figure out where my money will go the furthest in helping other people.
