As mentioned in the last episode, it's been a while since I did an update on charity donations and wanted to give one as well as continue the old tradition of getting guidance from the Patrons on where the next few donations should go.
My general approach has been to constantly switch between what I perceive to be good charities focused on humanitarian causes. The rotation is a risk mitigation exercise - even if one charity is missing a critical need, perhaps another will get there. Supported causes have included the groups who provide medical support within Ukraine (e.g. the Global Surgical and Medical Support Group), humanitarian support to UA refugees in the EU (e.g. Polska Akcja Humanitarna) and official efforts for issues like reconstruction (U24). I haven't yet committed to a cause to support this month, so I've included a few regular causes below, and would welcome feedback on where I should focus. I don't know how many sponsors will make payments in the next few weeks - but once I do I'll also include information on how much I pay out (split roughly according to voting results) for sake of transparency in a future update.
