I thank you for this post—it made me include ALLFED in my donation plans.
Good to hear!
Some updates since I posted this:
I’ll be meeting with someone from ALLFED in early July to discuss the argument for donating to them, and plan to make my donation decision that month. So in July, I’ll likely report back here or in a new post with my updated thoughts.
I did donate to CEEALAR the amount I would’ve paid if I’d had to pay for my stay. (I don’t plan to donate more in the foreseeable future.)
I haven’t received any indications that longtermist orgs are likely to have to make unfortunate, hard-to-reverse decisions due to COVID that immediate funding would prevent them having to make. (Though I didn’t ask around extensively either.)

Here’s ALLFED’s 2019 Annual Report and Fundraising Appeal, which has more up-to-date and detailed info than what I mentioned/linked to in this post. (I hadn’t seen it when I wrote this post.)
Here’s Summary of 2019-2020 GCRI Accomplishments, Plans, and Fundraising, which again has more up-to-date and detailed info than what I mentioned in this post.
