I currently give away appx. 10% of my net income (that is, income received after tax withholding etc.). I take a two-tiered approach: occasional giving throughout the quarter, and then “topping off” my donations at the end of the quarter so it equals roughly 10% of my net income.
For the last quarter (4/1 to 6/30 of 2023), my donations were as follows:
•50% to GiveDirectly (Africa Large Transfer Program)
•25% to StrongMinds
•25% to NAMI Massachussetts
These donations were in an amount totaling 9.96% of my net income from that period.
