    To whom? Who do you trust enough? What if those funds end up going towards gay conversion therapy or something like that?

    Unless there’s a government driven system in place which ensures reasonable utilization of resources, “giving it away” may cause more damage. Exception is if there’s a charity you super trust, but most of that funding usually pays execs salaries.

    Note that so much charity was done for pro choice efforts, but now some women don’t have the right to abortion in the U.S. because some people bought the Supreme Court. So no, don’t “give it away” unless either know where it ends up, or are okay with whatever the consequences may be.

    The only reasonable use of money in the current system is lobbying or political action committees.
