Giving What We Can’s Post

Our entire 2024 donation is equivalent to one banana?! 🍌😵 Today we announced a record-breaking year in 2024 - a US$6.5M / AU$10M donated to our impact partners. But here’s the kicker: this amount is just slightly more than the US$6.2M spent on a banana duct-taped to a wall at an art auction last week – a headline-grabbing symbol of modern extravagance.🤦♀️ It's a comparison that highlights a stark contrast between indulgent displays of wealth & the transformative potential of that same money when directed toward meaningful causes. While art can provoke thought and conversation, I believe Humanitix's contributions provoke real change – the kind that ripples through communities and generations. This year we have funded initiatives such as education for underprivileged children, direct cash transfers to the world's poorest households, Indigenous education, and the provision of healthcare and life’s basic necessities in some of the world’s most underserved communities. It’s both inspiring and sobering to realise that the same amount could have been spent on, well, a banana. That is indeed B-A-N-A-N-A-S to me, but that's the world we are living in right now. However, at Humanitix we believe that 'The world is not f*cked'. Yes it could be better, but there's no future in giving up. We create a better world by always striving, choosing hope, and prioritising progress over perfection. A duct-taped banana made headlines, but Humanitix’s impact is quietly rewriting futures. It's an awesome day to celebrate and recognise the incredible good we can create when we focus on impact over indulgence, the substantial over the sensational. #ticketsforgoodnotgreed #humanitix #impactreport #impactmilestone #socialimpact #donation #impact #techforgood #nonprofit #techcharity #compassionatecapitalism Sarah MacDiarmid Joshua Ross Adam McCurdie James Humpherson Sam Adams-Nye Jessica Markowitz Pierce Coady David Madison janelle prescott Yalari GiveDirectly Room to Read

Hello everyone, If you're kind-hearted and willing to support a charitable organization providing food to those in need, I'm sharing a link where you can contribute whatever amount you can spare. The cost of a food package for one family is 150,000 UZS, but what truly matters is your participation in helping others. You can donate any amount, starting from the minimum, and every contribution counts! Link for the transfers - https://t.me/Barakatuzbot Instagram profile URL - https://lnkd.in/dbjmxZKB P.S. I could only use Uzum for transfers, just in case!" (Note: Uzum refers to a specific payment or transfer platform in this context.)
