How it works
Log each gift with its date, the organization, the amount, a cause and a depth. The dashboard totals your giving, counts the organizations and draws two charts: where your money went by cause, and where it acted on the depth scale. The year filter narrows everything to one year. You can edit or delete any gift in the table and export the log as JSON or CSV whenever you like. Importing an export you made earlier updates those gifts instead of adding them twice.
Not ready to log your own gifts? Try sample data fills the dashboard with clearly fictional gifts, each marked “Sample,” and one click removes them again.
Depth and source share
Depth asks where a gift acts. Relief meets the need today. Repair restores what was lost. Prevention stops the harm happening to these people. Structure changes the rules that produce it. Source changes what feeds many problems at once. You choose the level for each gift, because you know what you paid for.
Source share is the part of your dollars at structure and source, levels 3 and 4. It describes your mix. It isn’t a score: a high number isn’t better and a low one isn’t worse. Relief meets an immediate need, and every level is needed. The point is to see your mix and choose it on purpose, which is the treatment for the Symptom Trap.
Charity sends very little information back to the people who pay for it. Charitology calls that the Missing Feedback Loop. The dashboard can’t tell you what your gifts achieved. It makes the first part of the loop visible: what you gave, where it went and at what depth. Charitology Wrapped turns the same log into a year-in-review card.
What it isn’t
It isn’t a tax record, so keep the receipts charities send you. It doesn’t rate any organization: the depth of each gift is your own description. Your gifts are stored only in this browser and are never sent anywhere. Clearing your browser’s data deletes them, so export a copy now and then.
