Ask HN: Have you donated to a YC nonprofit / Would you if it was easier to do so

  • As a YC partner, I've given to all of them.

    Watsi and Zidisha are particularly enjoyable to donate through directly, because you choose a person you'd like to help.

    Like, for the cost of a good dinner, you could fund the remaining 1/3 of fixing this kid's legs: https://watsi.org/profile/0cbc7f502d2e-deonisi. He's from a farming family, so imagine how much difference it will make throughout his life to be able to walk properly. You'll get pictures after the work is done.

    Or choose someone else to help: that's part of the experience.

    (But it's also a fine thing for unstaffed foundations to give across the board.)
