It seems like the effect of effective altruism on charity donations is relatively independent from income.

If I do a straight linear model with predicts charity donation from effective altruism, the effect is 1851 +- 416 $. If I add income into the model the effect shrinks to 1751+-392.

Furthermore being a effective altruist doesn't have a significant effect on income (I tried a few different ways to control it).
