[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For more local or regional orgs, i don't vet. There are only so many local food banks or immigrant service orgs serving my community and i want to give to the most on the ground locally, not the most effective globally. I think there are efficiency/efficacy tradeoffs that come with scale. The issue of awareness raising vs offering bail is not about that, it's about a mismatch between the mission and what you wamt to support, i think. [/quote] I’m annoyed about that particular experience because they claim to be running a bail bond fund, which is a very specific thing (where the money comes back to the fund after the proceedings are over) but then, when you dig a little deeper, that’s not what they’re doing. My spouse and I agreed to set aside a larger amount of money (as I say in the $25ish range) so I’m more invested than usual when I’ve just written a $50 check to NAACP or whatever. [/quote]
