Voting has now closed! Thank you to everyone who voted, discussed and donated. And of course to all the organisations who wrote marginal funding posts! 

Stay tuned for a post about the winners tomorrow. 

The Donation Election will close (no more voting or donating) at an undisclosed time today... could be in ten minutes, could be in ten hours... get your final votes in soon just in case!

This is fantastic, thanks so much for doing this! My only recommendation is to double down on your point of asking them to use charity evaluators (specifically GiveWell, maybe ACE and Giving Green), to decide which charities to include for each category (that way they feel bought into their choice of charity, and ideally they can change when recommendations do). 
Let me know if I can help in any way! 

For @LotteG : "frog with tarot cards"
 

It'll be on the EA Forum curated and popular podcast feed, but I'll post a transcript and links on the Forum as well. 

For @Emma Richter🔸 : Thanks for donating!
 

I'd also add that basically no one knows what EA is, and currently, when you do a quick google, you get a good impression (criticism tab aside):
 

(Interested to know if others get the same AI summary- not sure if it regenerates for each user, or just for search terms)

Thanks Jason! I'm guessing a fairly large part of this is name recognition, so maybe there aren't unwritten takes to extract here. 

This also makes me think we can make the UI clearer next year- it'd have been easier to see this effect if I could also click a button to "eliminate one candidate". 

We did have some more fancy schemes where chunks of votes would be visually redistributed, but it would have taken too long. 

Poor @David Solar - your dog isn't this creepy in real life:
