How much money do you have to donate, if you don't mind my asking?

Let's say a $50 minimum.

In the end, I think you interpreted pp's question correctly, but that the pronoun is "you" rather than "I" and the disclaimer "if you don't mind my asking" suggests that the question is how big is your donation budget. One answer to that is in the original post, $20k available for this offer. Another answer is here.

(The disclaimer seems to me to require a strong update, but my prior is even higher.)

You would be correct. Thanks for the link.

Ah; sorry!

I'm planning to donate 30% of my pre-tax income this year, which I expect to be about $55K.

(Douglas_Knight's link also includes Julia's planned donations, which are $43K.)
