I live in Australia, and am interested in donating to the fundraising efforts of MIRI and Lightcone Infrastructure, to the tune of $2,000 USD for MIRI and $1,000 USD for Lightcone. Neither of these are tax-advantaged for me. Lightcone is tax advantaged in the US, and MIRI is tax advantaged in a few countries according to their website.
Anyone want to make a trade, where I donate the money to a tax-advantaged charity in Australia that you would otherwise donate to, and you make these donations? As I understand it, anything in Effective Altruism Australia would work. Since my tax bill is expected to be about 1/​3rd this year, I’m open to matching up to 4.5k USD for this instead of 3k, which will cost me about 3k in the long run. This will not funge against my existing 10% donations to global health, it’s on top of them, so you get all that sweet, sweet counterfactual impact.
If he’s still around, @Mitchell Laughlin🔸 can confirm that I’ve successfully done a match like this before across a longer timeframe and larger total amount.
