Requested question: "How much money have you donated to organizations aiming to reduce x-risk other than MIRI/CFAR?"

This is ambiguous. Is it you who are aiming to reduce x-risk, or the organizations who are aiming to reduce x-risk.

For example, someone could donate to the malaria foundation because they believe this somehow reduces x-risk, even though the malaria foundation's goal is not reducing x-risk.
