Great post!

Your worked examples of Make-A-Wish, Nurse-Family Partnership, and VillageReach were terrifically presented. I think your style also helped you present points I tried to cover in my more broad piece more effectively here. I was aiming for a slightly different objective, so I think these two complement each other well now. I like how you discuss a more focused sub-section of what I cover, but in a more complete way than my quick, fragmented overviews ever could. In fact, your entire piece presents a better discussion of #2 (Identify a cause with lots of leverage) and #3 (Don’t confuse what “feels good” with what actually helps the most) from my piece and I love the discussion in "Volunteering, Nonprofit Work and Cost-Effectiveness" which is superior to my condensed point #7 (Give money).

And since I like your piece so much, I've removed an SIAI-specific link from the #2 heading of my piece to link directly here now. Anyone directed to my post in the future would be well served and more informed by reading your excellent discussion as well.
