In 2015 I’ll be donating 10% of my salary to the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. CSER is a particularly good giving opportunity right now: with such superb academic bona fides, it has the potential to hugely raise the profile of the study of existential risk and boost the whole field of future-oriented work, so if you are at all moved by the idea of the overwhelming importance of shaping the far future then CSER is well worth considering as a recipient. It’s a particularly good cause for me to give to because I’m in the UK, so there are substantial tax advantages.
FHI are also a very appealing cause for UK taxpayers; I’ve been a donor to them in the past and may shift back to them in the future depending on how each is looking in room for more funding.
