Thanks.

At this point, I'm leaning towards CSER. Do you happen to know how it compares to other X-risk organizations in terms of room for more funding?

I don't know, sorry! Without someone like GiveWell looking into these groups individuals need to be doing a lot of research on their own. Write to them and ask? And then share back what you learn?

(Lack of vetting and the general difficulty of evaluating X-risk charities is part of why I'm currently not giving to any.)
