re: What would your philanthropy be if you were a multibillionaire?

How many billions?
I would take at least a billion and put it in a damned safe investment trust. Let's say 3% per year = $30 million/year.
That money would be split 5 ways each year:
American Cancer Society
Wildlife Conservation Society
The Federalist Society
Doctors Without Borders
Catholic Relief Services
I would also make separate $1 million annual donations to:
My old elementary schools
My old high school
My old undergraduate department
My old graduate department
My law school
My kids' schools
My wife's school
My church

we're multiple billions here? I'd give at minimum 500 million to LSU. 100 million for a new arena, new library, and some STEM facilities. scholarships for OOS students too
I'd probably form some sort of organization that provided affordable healthy options for families. It's pretty expensive for your typical family to eat healthy, though there's quite a few million that don't want or care to eat healthy anyway

Form a secret society with a completely asinine end goal.

how?
saying you'd help is great virtue signaling, but what matters is the "how"

I would start a home for wayward women.

I would have a private version of the Navy Seals and I would go around to shitty neighborhoods and gang areas and take out the bad folks.

I would my billions to philanthropize my penis into untold amounts of models and actresses

I would probably just bang Instagram models until I died in an awesome explosion of drugs and sloots

I would start a program that helps both kids and animals in animal shelters. It would consist of people "adopting" pets from animal shelters an then the program would set you up with a little brother/sister who wants a pet but can't afford one so you would give the pet to them. You would meet with your little brother/sister a couple of times a month to provide food and other pet supplies (with the occasional visits to the vet) while also spending time mentoring the kid. You would be helping with the unwanted animal problem while also spending time with a kid teaching them responsibility by taking care of the pet you adopted for them

I would give money to st judes, churches, and build homes for homeless. I would give almost all my $ away every year and just keep a few million for my self. I wouldn't need all that $, and since God blessed me, I would give back to others/God

I would have a charity to help the less fortunate and to help educate those who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Pretty standard stuff.
BUT I would also ferret out the truth by having studies on the pyramids, chemtrails, weaponized cell phones, EMF and I would help ban smart meters and other sketchy and heinous technologies.

havent thought about it because I don't have the billions would be a waste of time for me
I'd pump a lot of money into the means of accomplishing it rather than just pumping money into failed institutions and handing it out.
A) i would pump most of my money into something like this. start in my small Texas town and expand if we find a good model
B) from somebody who works with black HUD apartment complex (from a Christian perspective, so feel free to tune this part out,) it's a simple answer. we need to find a way for moms to stop having children and dads to skip out on children with no consequences.
I hate abortion. I loathe it and find it to be an abomination. However I do understand that it can stop the escalation of poverty for a lot of people in that situation. The number one problem we come across is kids who don't have their fathers in the picture and mom is raising kids from 14-1 years old while trying to hold down a job. So kids find dumb things to do to deal with their pain, boredom, and hunger. Finding a way to encourage to have safe sex, or even the horror of sex in a committed or marital relationship to poverty will fix more than abortion, welfare, or any government funded program.
i haven't figured out how to do it yet, but when powerball hits a lot of money will go into it.

Probably donate a good bit to the struggling girls trying to "get thru nursing school". I hate to see them abusing their feet in those high heels when they could be reclining (and studying, of course).

Lots of good ideas out there. Just off the top of my head I would fund diabetes research, give to St Jude and Shriners, make sure vets were taken care of.
