    I tend to look for charities that meet immediate needs, so local food banks are high up on the priority list.

    If I have something to spare and see a land back fund or similar indigenous initiative that presently needs funding I often go that way. There’s a lot of indigenous folks doing critical environmental work here in the US so if I suddenly came into a ton of money I’d be able to move I’d probably look for a way to help whatever decentralized initiative might need it most urgently in that area.

    Folks need material support to preserve their lives and lifeways my maternal ancestors contributed to wrecking, and we’re also all in a lot of trouble here environmentally and we need to back the expertise folks frequently bring to the table. Two separate but interrelated priorities. It just makes sense.
