You get to keep only enough to maintain a very modest lifestyle in a low-cost-of-living area, the rest of it has to go towards improving the world in some way.

Edit: Given the previous rules that you must maintain a very modest lifestyle in a low-cost-of-living area, would you rather choose to opt out and not have the money at all?

    1. I would set up a program where the teachers in Philadelphia public schools would have their school supplies highly subsidized by myself.

    2. The local food banks would receive five figure donations directly from myself.

    3. I would look into water retention and distribution in drought stricken parts of Mexico. If I could help I would leverage my money effectively to make sure humans have access to safe drinking water in the region. If acting directly would cause harm I would fund researchers until an appropriate solution could be found.

    4. Create an app that teaches the indigenous languages of the Americas while hiring native speakers for accuracy.

    Edit:

    1. Donate to an owl sanctuary.

      I like your very targeted responses!

      With money in the billions, I agree that I couldn’t not help fellow humans first.

      Your proposals also have some fairly immediate benefits to a number of different groups of underserved people.

      And then you even came back in the end to include some of the critters as well!

      I like your style.
