My values align fairly closely with GiveWell’s. If they continue to ask for donations then probably about 20% of my giving next year will go to them (as in the past two years). Apart from that:
GiveWell’s preferred split across their recommended charities AMF/SCI/GD/EvAc (Evidence Action, which includes Deworm the World) is 67/13/13/7. Since most of the reasoning behind that split is how much money each charity could reasonably use, and I agree with GiveWell that bednets are really cost-effective, I won’t be deviating much from GiveWell’s recommendation.
Probably I will reduce GiveDirectly’s prominence down to 5% or so (with increases for SCI and EvAc) -- I haven’t studied GiveWell’s latest numbers for the cost-effectiveness calculation closely, but their headline result has their effectiveness far lower than either deworming or bednets. So I’ll continue donating a relatively small amount to GD in recognition of them being methodologically really great.
I haven’t yet given much thought to GiveWell’s other ‘standout’ charities, and whether it’s correct to donate to them or not.
