I begin with splitting my donations between cause areas: currently, 60% to longtermism and 40% to animal welfare. And then I decide which funds/orgs to give to from there.
This month, that is:
30% Long-term future fund
30% Longtermism Fund (Longview Philanthropy)
30% Animal Welfare Fund
5% Faunalytics
5% Good Food Institute
I’m becoming more comfortable with ‘diversifying’ my donations; 2 months ago I was just giving to the Long-term Future Fund and the Animal Welfare Fund.
For me, I think a big reason I’m starting to diversify is that while I trust that the folks at all these orgs know how to spend money more effectively than I do, it perhaps makes sense to trust multiple teams of experts in case there’s a more general failure at one of them. Hope that makes sense.
