I loved hearing how James’s experience in the aid sector has influenced his views on effectiveness and optimization. Having worked with refugees, aid organizations, and advocates for children, James brings valuable field experience into his advocacy work. After seeing how major aid organizations operate, now, for him, “Okay is not good enough.”
This is the 2nd in a set of 3 episodes focused on effective giving, and the 1st of two recorded at the EA Canada Retreat at the Center for Social Innovation in Toronto. For the third, check out my talk with SK OwYong from RC Forward in Episode 06.
This episode is meaningful to me personally because in recording it, I literally make the 10% pledge live. I’d had it in mind to make the pledge for years but it was something about the moment that got me to finally do it. I’m planning to make my charitable donations near the end of the year.
Thanks so much, James, for speaking with me! If you are thinking of join the growing ranks of 10% Pledgers, check out Giving What We Can.
