Should we donate anonymously or with our names attached? - Rebecca Kruger

Adam Kruger Podcast

In this episode, my sister Rebecca and I discuss whether it’s better to donate anonymously or with our names attached.

Follow-up questions we discussed included:

8:10: Why did you pick this topic?

10:00: Do you think selfless deeds exist?

13:25: Why do platforms like GoFundMe give you an option to be anonymous? Why are some of the reasons someone would want to donate anonymously?

15:20: If platforms like GoFundMe didn't give people the option to be anonymous, how would it affect the number of donations they get?

18:30: Can you tell me more about the paper you wrote on altruism?

19:25: How many people do you think would agree with you and me that selfless deeds don't exist?

21:00: What percentage of your salary should you donate?

27:55: Is there a 'right' amount to donate?

35:25: What are your thoughts on giving money to the homeless?

37:30: What would happen if a homeless person was given thousands of dollars at once, instead of a few dollars every now and then? Would they be more likely to use that money to get help (i.e. a place to live, etc.)?

39:10: How can we solve the issue of collective action problem (i.e. the feeling that my actions alone won't make a difference)?

46:20: Do you think company donation matching programs make a difference?

49:00: Does Zuckerberg deserve to get heat for only giving $25 million towards COVID-19?
