[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, it’s shocking to me how many high earners and high net worth give nothing and are proud of it. Or come up with excuses like non profits are wasteful. It’s really not that hard to find good organizations doing good work.

Our HHI is 300k, NW 2.5M, and we have donated between $8-12k a year for many years. Included in that is my alma mater, church, DC local orgs to help low income people, legal aid orgs, and some environmental groups. The 300k income is recent - we should probably up our giving.[/quote]

$1M/$4M/$20k

I'm neither proud nor ashamed of my charitable giving. I know I'm a good person, a loving parent, a loyal spouse, a caring child to my aging parents, a good friend. I also work my a## off in my career to achieve my income. I don't feel obligated to donate nor did I grow up where charitable giving was particularly valued (though my parents made far less than I do). Generally, my only charitable giving is due to professional obligation.[/quote]
