I haven’t yet gotten around to writing up where I plan on donating in 2018 (I already maxed out my 2017 donations in February), but I’ve been thinking along the same lines. Recently I’ve been leaning toward donating to these smaller, riskier organizations because I see a lot of value in helping new orgs grow and learning what they can accomplish—especially because the established charities that I like best have gotten a lot of funding recently and have room to scale up before they start to hit the limits of their funding.

Cool! I look forward to seeing your reasoning!
