but my total living expenses are only 50% of my income, and I got a sign-on bonus.

That would tend to imply that you actually can afford to eat out once a week even with the donation.

And as for the risk of going further into debt

My point wasn't that there was a risk of going further into debt, it was that paying money to CFAR is equivalent to paying off the debt and then un-paying it so that you can donate to CFAR. If someone paid off your debt, would you un-pay it so that you could donate to CFAR?
