I’m never sure how much I’ve given them, when the last time was, etc, so I’m always convinced some of them are tricking me into donating more than I would otherwise.</p>
<p>Well, this shall happen no more. I’m starting a new scheme this year in which on January 1<sup>st</sup> of each year, I donate to all the organizations that make the cut. </p>
<p>Here are this year’s results, including amount donated and links to their donation page. Please let me know if I’m making any grave mistakes:
