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!
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%.
Hey Peter, thanks for clarifying that. So you thought providing matching funding was the best way to put money into CS? Has CS considered raising some serious money and trying to make a hire or two? You've done fairly well this year, so it seems worth contemplating.
