If you had $45+billion to give, what would be your cause(s) ?

[ Edited ]

I have 3 so far.

 

 (1.) Respite care for caregivers of vets with PTSD

 

(2.) Support for military spouses and their children, especially the battered

 

(3.) Tutoring and education and job training/opportunities for at risk disadvantaged youth

 

 

Anyone else ?

I am giving this some thought. But I do know this, I wouldn't post my benevolence on FaceBook.

Getting the homeless off the streets, fed and clothed - job training and hopefully back into society.

Homes for orphaned children. 

100 percent no kill animal shelters

The best care possible for vets, including medical, jobs when they return and family support

 

These aren't in order. I would never put animals before our vets.

wouldnt it be great to accomplish even one of our goals.

The above are all wonderful purposes, but not one will matter if our planet is no longer livable.  So I vote for a donation to the effort to reduce pollution on the planet, aimed at development of carbon free energy, ways to cut waste, especially plastics, and something which is rarely mentioned: population control.  Gates and a number of other billionaires have started such a program.

45 billion spread around can do a lot of good for many, many people.  this would take some research.

Increased security and border control, without it...........no other cause is going to matter much in the long run.
