      I also need to be reminded now and then,

      Happy to pitch a tenner when reminded, you guys and Wikipedia.

      • 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)

        I would recommend reconsidering Wikipedia (ie. the Wikimedia foundation) since they have large reserves of money and their fundraising is misleading.

        Wikipedia editors even sort of had a „revolt“ against the foundation because of the misleading fundraising banners.
