My family is fairly well off, and nobody needs anything.
We have a poor tradition of buying gifts nobody needs.
I’ve spoken with some of my family and we’re going to change this to make Christmas about giving to those in need. Unfortunately, everyone has slightly different interests and I’m having a hard time coming up with impactful charities for various family members.
Does anyone know of some (global or Canadian) charities in these categories?
- Environment
- Animals
- Human Rights/Poverty
- Technology
Some charities I’ve got so far:
- The Water Project (Human Rights)
- Software Freedom Conservancy (Technology)
- Godot (Technology)
- Doctors Without Borders (Human Rights)
Any suggestions appreciated (:. Share this post with your family if you want to start something like this too!
How about the Electronic Frontier Foundation? (Technology)

Awesome! Going to look into all of them!

Lineage OS (foundation of many open source Android system)
Wikipedia (duh)
Wikipedia doesn’t need your money. They have enough to stay operarional for probably a decade to come.
Givewell.org, maximize the good you can do.
