How do people decide where to give?
An academic research platform on charitable choice. Read short vignettes describing two hypothetical charities, allocate a notional budget between them, and contribute to an open dataset on the psychology of giving. Anonymous or signed-in.
Read, allocate, compare
Each vignette pairs two hypothetical charities. You choose how to split a notional budget, then see how others allocated. Anonymous is fine — sign in to save your profile and revisit your insights.
Run it with your class
Each classroom gets its own invite code, dashboard, and per-class analytics. Students don't need accounts. Pick the full set of vignettes or curate your own.
Suggest your own vignettes
Signed-in users can propose vignettes — a pair of charities and the moral factor at stake. Suggestions go through moderation and review before joining the active pool.
