483 | Effective Giving for the FI Community | Rebecca Herbst & Jack Lewars

A charity can multiply your impact by 100 times — or waste 99% of it. Rebecca Herbs and Jack Lewis from the ChooseFI community explain why where you give matters just as much as how much you give, and how anyone pursuing financial independence can build sustainable giving habits without derailing their path to FI. Rebecca, founder of Yield and Spread, and Jack, executive director at One for the World, share practical insights on effective giving — the practice of maximizing the impact of donations by choosing charities that address global issues like poverty and health crises with proven cost-effectiveness. They discuss various giving pledges, including the Giving What We Can pledge that encourages individuals to donate a percentage of their income, and how to navigate the psychological barriers to committing to regular giving.
