I have posted this in the last open thread, but I should post here too for relevancy:
I have donated $5,000 for the MIRI 2013 Winter Fundraiser. Since I’m a “new large donor”, this donation will be matched 3:1, netting a cool $20,000 for MIRI.
I have decided to post this because of “Why our Kind Cannot Cooperate”. I have been convinced that people donating should publicly brag about it to attract other donors, instead of remaining silent about their donation which leads to a false impression of the amount of support MIRI has.
On the other hand, MIRI hit its goal three weeks early, so the amount of support is pretty obvious.
Though I have to admit, I was going to remain silent too, and upon reflection I couldn’t think of any good reasons to do so. It may not be necessary, but it couldn’t hurt either. So...

I donated $700 to CFAR.
