Scenario

When couples get paralyzed by effective giving research

My spouse and I started a donor-advised fund with the intention of being strategic about our giving, but every time we sit down to actually allocate the money we get overwhelmed by all the research and analysis required to give 'effectively' and end up avoiding the decisions entirely, even though the money is just sitting there doing nothing.

More people experience this than they realize.
