Apparently has been for quite some time. I'm nowhere near this level, but I do my homework before I give money to organizations.

It's why Gates works full time at it.
I'm sure he knows Bill McCaskill and the Effective Altruism guys. I wonder why he doesn't like that. One problem might be that it points almost exclusively to fighting infectious disease in Africa, and he's probably interested in other things.

It is a good thought exercise. I have thought about how I would handle giving away lots of money and it would be a lot of work.
I was reading an article about Jeff Bezo wife, who has been doing that. I believe that her philosophy is kind of just random donations directly to people/organizations, etc. Hard to do.
