This month I officially launched the EA Donation Registry, which you may have seen featured in MIRI's latest newsletter, or across the Animal Charity Evaluators website. Related, we also officially launched Effective Altruist Profiles (here's the LessWrong post) - we'd soft-launched both projects a while ago, soon after starting the 2014 EA Survey.

I also created a step-by-step guide to writing a will and the 'Shop for Charity' scheme, through which you can earn 5% cost-free commission for GiveWell-recommended charities while doing your shopping on Amazon. And I've been doing other Charity Science work too - people may be interested in our recent review of our first year of operations.

Shop for Charity

Link noted, future purchases at Amazon will be done through the respective link. Would be happier if the donation went outright to the GiveWell clear fund instead of any one of their recommended charities.

Thanks, that's valuable feedback. I'll look into arranging that for the US; it may not be feasible for purchases in other countries, because of the inefficiency of routing the donations via GiveWell.
