Its the kind of dilemma where still more than 1 in 8 people prefers to take an extra benjamin over letting any charity get $1K.

to me $100 is nothing, so it was a no brainer to take the $900, if you made it like $500 instead I might have picked the $1000

Vicarious altruism -- my new band name!
I pick option 2. Some covid relief fund shelter or something like that.
I immediately thought of this though. KITH:

I'd take the $900 and give the $1000 to Ol' Joe.

larry.fisherman said: What even is this thread, lol. It's philosophically impotent. It's "are you good or are you greedy." Except fhe good guy has to get paid. Where is the "I don't want the money." See if you don't take the money the guy is going to give it to someone else. That is as charitable as it gets. The other option is to take the $1000 and keep $500, donating $500 because if you're telling me what to do with a supposed gift it's not a gift nor is it my choice. Vicarious altruism isn't altruism it's a mail-order participation trophy 
It's set up so that it's a relatively minor sacrifice to pick the altruistic option, yet there will still be some people who don't.

I voted the $1000 US dollars to charity choice with $900 for myself (an excellent deal). I once donated to an African-based Charity because they need it the most (in my opinion).
This one looks promising: https://www.covaidafrica.org/

I think giving money to a religious establishment or charity is a waste. It's well known that most charities use the majority for expenses to get the rest of your money where it needs to go.
You're better off taking the hour or two to buy things people need and distrubuting yourself.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

It's only $100 difference for you...
...why not donate the money? It could literally come back to haunt YOU quite easily if you didn't...the difference 1k can make somewhere in the world is VERY LARGE...it could easily screw you over in some random way later in YOUR life if you took all the money for yourself...
...yea, anything could happen and maybe donating the money might actually screw you over in some way but obviously the chances of that happening SHOULD be MUCH less than the opposite ending up true...
...it sucks not knowing of any good charities but they ARE out there...
Honestly I'd want to donate that $900 to a charity as well so all $1,900 went to charity...
...and I'll continue my life learning how to fish rather than taking so much fish for free from this rich man.
Kids need us man...you don't give a starving kid a fishing pole when you could give him a fish instead, that's like a slap in the face to a kid at an orphanage or something...you have to trust that somehow the world is going to pitch in alongside you to keep that kid fed until he builds his own fishing pole and learns to fish...that's what humble souls are doing in orphanages around the world.
...yea, you would like to give him that fishing pole as well...so do it...
I've been looking for good charities to donate to and I feel really lost looking through organizations that are so large and not knowing exactly how to verify and find the small ones.
Please, LET ME KNOW SOME GOOD ONES Asante! Much love.

A good one's in my signature and has been for years now AMANI
They're a lot expanded since I first posed the link but, they got a routine and good capability for rescuing street children in Tanzania.
They have legit fundraising branches now in many rich countries over the world, all thanks to what once started as a simple internet campaign.
Its still about a few dozen orphans and homeless kids, but a few dozen more than before.

Ya give the 1k to charity. Both cases is money for nothing. And an extra hundred wouldn't make that much of a difference. Change the question to 10k and 1k and then it'll be a tougher choice
