Top-line, gave ~25% of my income—primarily to Global Health and Climate causes. This year I focused on a smaller # of organizations at higher levels than in 2022, based on feedback on last year’s thread.
26k to GiveWell Top Charities Fund; add’l 11k to Against Malaria Fund
35k to climate organizations - (EA-ish): Silverlining, Clean Air Task Force; (non-EA—focused on a US state-level organization, data organization, and industry-focused organizations): Fresh Energy, Carbonplan, IREC, InnerSpace
Balance to Nuclear Threat Initiative, University of Washington’s Virology & Epidemiology Funds
Happy holidays!
This podcast highlights one specific (very valuable!) data-gathering project formerly funded by USAID, the Demographic/Health Survey. There were/are other data projects at risk—FEWS NET is the first that comes to mind; I hope (if appropriate) GiveWell + partners are able to find a way to support core parts of this infrastructure through 2030.
This episode, along w/ “Malaria Funding at a Crossroads” hints at the breadth of health/development infrastructure that needs to be thought about… We’re always in triage, but sure hurts to have a whole new set of tags to hand out.
