As an orthodox jew, the concept of giving 10% of your money to charity is a biblical requirement known as Maaser.

Really happy to see the rest of the world joining in this.

I don't mean to be accusatory, just curious, but to which charities and charitable endeavours does that 10% usually go? It looks like it's different to tithing as Maaser doesn't end up as money for the religious institution?


Yes but this is focused on donating to effective charity, as a specific quantitative optimization problem.
