But if we want to go for the broadest and longest term effect, I would set up 20 $50,000 scholarships for the brightest kids that plan on going into the field of science.
Start training our next generation to propel us forward and not to learn how to make great web pages or use an auto-tuner so they can be the next flavor of the month.
But the ones that will have the best chance to benefit humanity as a whole.
And if my faith in humanity continues to wane, I would spend the entire amount on the benefit of no kills shelters for cats and dogs.
