If I will donate to any actual research organisation I would do it for Buck institute. But general luck of donations to any of such organisation mean that the cause is not well enough popularized.
Interesting, I'm curious why--it looks to me like they're adequately funded for the foreseeable future. Do you think their research plan is better / their prestige is higher / something else?
What does "adequately funded" mean in this context? Certainly labs at the Buck Insitute could easily expand in personal or experiments given more money. Importantly, SENS and BI also collaborate, and many SENS grant dollars are awarded to scientists at BI (I don't know the exact numbers, but last time I looked into it, this was the case).
Looking into a little less shallowly, I overestimated the amount of their funding that comes from the Buck Trust Fund, but that amount still seems larger than the total budget of SENS. (I don't think SENS has any permanent support on nearly the same scale.)
