Ask HN: What charities are you giving to this year?

Evidence Action - https://www.evidenceaction.org/

This is the "safe bet" in my giving. They do a good job at improving lives, in the most effective way possible.

Center for Election Science - https://electionscience.org/

This is the "long shot" in my giving. Officeholders today are incentivized to carve out a slice of supporters, play to only that audience, and demonize everyone else. Approval voting is the best solution that I've seen. It's worked well in a few cities, but mainstream acceptance is a ways off.

Thanks for this. Do you have any thoughts on Evidence Action vs GiveWell? Looks like GiveWell supports on of EA's charities (Deworm the World), but broadly each org is looking to do similar things.
