> A better argument, I think, is that one learns by doing. The money I give this year is not all of the money I will ever give. By donating to multiple organizations, I’ll naturally follow their work, see what they accomplish, and hopefully be able to make more-informed choices next year.

Doesn't this suggest more iterations for faster feedback? So instead of donating annually, donate quarterly or monthly or whatever, while always learning in the meantime.

Incidentally, this is (sort of) why I don't automate my monthly donations; every month is a new paycheck is a new reminder to donate is another refresher on how to think about giving better. YMMV...
