• I recommend writing a log of donations. Then you can look at where you donated, when and how much, and remind yourself of where you want to send money again.

    Now, I am pretty lazy. So it’s just my_donations.txt, open with Vim and whip out that calculator. Should probably be a spreadsheet instead. I don’t know if Calc let’s me do math based on key (place of donation).
    I guess I could have separate columns per key (to maintain log nature), then do subtotal per key to specific cells, then grand total from those cells.
    Still begs the question of how I would do that per year.
    Sperate columns each year?
    Just make range selection at the end of year?
    To be honest, I never actually used any spreadsheet software. I suppose there might be some logic, if so, there sure would be a way to check the date column on same row as amount.

    But anyway, Vim + calculator. 👍

      I use libre Calc for my donations.

      If you want to sum based on a criteria you can use sumif().

      I use it to track what types of donations I make (deductible, political, etc)
