I primarily donate to SI (~80%), but I also donate to whatever Givewell’s top charity is at the time. Over the last year this has resulted in $150 to VillageReach and $300 to AMF and $1800 to SI.
Why SI? Primarily because I like the people who work there, and wish to signal to them that I am part of their community and that I believe in their mission, so they will like me in return. :)
But that reason is not likely to convince you if you’ve never met them—instead, consider that the work they are doing is incredibly important, and they’re probably the best-equipped and best-positioned team to execute on any plan like theirs.
