Continuing the tradition from last year, a mention of organizations to which I contributed in 2018, as a way to a) encourage donations to those places and b) to make myself accountable for donating each year. I more than doubled my total contribution amount this year. My employer matches some of my contributions, all of which is made easier (particularly at tax time) by using Fidelity Charitable.
