I donate about 12k a year. 4k of that is fixed and recurring because of tax efficiency.

Nowadays most of it goes to Ukraine, biodiversity, local food bank and homeless shelter. And more recently I’ve been donating to FOSS and democratic charities.

Taking into account the tax returns it’s about 20% of my nett income. Some of my friends work 4 days a week, I basically work 4 for myself and 1 for charity.

To be honest I don’t think I would’ve donated to an artist at a food truck festival. I’m much likelier to donate to organisations than to individuals, and I don’t have art/culture high on my priority list. But it’s good that different people are wired differently!
