If you had the option of donating $1M to any cause you liked in the hopes of making a real difference. Which cause would you choose and why?
cyrusabdollahi said:I'd give it to Dr. Yunus.
Because he does not hand out free money, he makes the poor pay it back.

As a scientist, I would use evidence-based methods to research and evaluate different causes to determine which one would have the most impact. This could include looking at statistics, conducting experiments, and consulting with experts in the field. I would also consider my personal values and the potential long-term effects of the cause.
I would carefully research and choose a reputable and transparent organization to donate the money to. I would also monitor the progress and impact of the organization's work through regular communication and reports. Additionally, I would set clear guidelines and expectations for how the money should be used and regularly review the organization's financial statements.
This would depend on my personal values and the results of my research, but some potential causes could include environmental conservation, education and literacy, healthcare access, poverty alleviation, and scientific research for important medical or technological breakthroughs.
To determine the long-term impact of my donation, I would look at the organization's plans for sustainability and continued growth. I would also track the progress and outcomes of the organization's work over time, and potentially conduct follow-up research or studies to see the broader impact of the cause.
Yes, I would definitely consider collaborating with other donors or organizations to maximize the impact of the donation. This could include partnering with other individuals or companies who share the same values and goals, or working with established organizations that have a proven track record of success in the chosen cause. Collaboration can lead to a more efficient and effective use of resources, and can also bring together a diverse range of perspectives and expertise.
