Last year a bunch of people made blog posts outlining where they were planning to donate that year and why. This year, we have a better medium: the EA forum!
If anyone else is interested in discussing their giving plans and reasons--either completed or in-progress--post them below. I'd love to hear people's thoughts!
EDIT: as Jess Riedel points out, don't let this replace posting on your blog, where more/different people will see it!
Hey Peter what are your reasons for giving to GW's recommended charities rather than a meta-charity of some form? I imagine this is a considered decision. In particular as Charity Science seems to be moving a multiple of its spending, why not put it into CS?
I guess I wasn't clear. My donation log should make it pretty clear that I've been putting money into CS instead of GW's recommended charities directly.
The remainder is a question of what to do when CS has run out of room for more funding, and I still want to fulfill my 10% pledge. I don't have a good answer for this at the moment. Luckily, this year it didn't happen, and I'll be giving more than 10%.
