Hour of charities
I’m quitting but I’ve already pledged a bunch of money to various charities. Since charities rely on money like this for their income I wanted to make sure to make good on my pledges and make sure I get the Microsoft match in before quitting. If you’re looking for some charities to donate to, here are my most recent picks. I try to donate to a bunch of organizations that I think do good things in the world and local community. I spent my last hour making one time contributions and getting the matches in.
- PAWS no kill animal shelter - where we got Io
- KUOW - the good local NPR station
- Sightline (formerly Northwest Environment Watch) who do incredible environmental lobbying and are chiefly responsible for all the recent legislative attention to PDBE’s
- Real Change homeless newspaper
- Planned Parenthood of Western Washington
- The EFF
- The Federation of American Scientists who do non-proliferation work and have a hugely informative website
- KEXP - the good local rock station
