I’m thinking about 2021 giving now, and in addition to the usual suspects, I’ve been considering the following:
The Happier Lives Institute. I think the work they are doing is potentially high-leverage, and according to Michael Plant, as of one month ago they hadn’t met their 2022 funding goal.
Pro Publica. This one actually is funded by billionaires, so I don’t think it counts as small or weird. Nevertheless I have had a sense for a while that Pro Publica punches above its weight in terms of bringing meaningful attention to otherwise under-valued topics I was reminded of this recently when I read the book The Alignment Problem that highlighted some Pro Publica’s work in the area of AI risk.
