I second this. Look into GiveWell and effective altruism, if you're not familiar with them. Also look up the term "earn to give". There's some truly amazing opportunities to deploy capital in the service of the less fortunate, particularly in places like Sub-Saharan Africa where e.g. $3500 buys enough mosquito nets to result, statistically, in one life saved. $3500!
