Zuckerberg did some similar philanthropy for some school district in NJ or something and there weren’t strings attached - we should probably be responsible and think of this more fully, as in, do we trust the Nashua Soup Kitchen to act ethically, and not subject their patrons to weird Bezos corruption?

I do.

$1.25m can feed 350 families for a whole ass year. Oftentimes this stuff has ulterior motives - good PR - but that’s really as far as it goes.

Y’all should get involved in all the nonprofits around and get a feel for how badly they need this stuff, and how often wealthy people truly do hand out cash (I know most of you are suspicious of Bezos more than the Soup Kitchen but if you take this to it’s logical endpoint it’s one and the same).

I attended a fundraising breakfast for one of the largest homeless shelters in the state recently and it was extremely well done, authentic, and raised over $300k in one hour.
