10k to Against Malaria Foundation (which was further matched 1:1) 3.5k to Cellular Agriculture Australia (which was further matched 1:1) 3.5k to Medito Foundation (non profit mindfulness app)
Reasoning—majority to a proven high impact organization, then smaller amounts to new projects that have high potential in reducing animal suffering (CellAgAu have helped several new CellAg startups get off the ground) and improving human mental wellbeing (Medito has millions of downloads already)
Next year plan to donate more, at least 20% of income, divided mostly between global health/wellbeing and longtermist projects, with remainder for speculative new EA entrepreneurship projects.
