Summary

A practical year-end EA giving guide for 'maximally lazy' donors: EA Funds as the one-click option, then GiveWell (global health/deworming), Animal Charity Evaluators, Larks' AI-safety review, Vox's climate charities, and a set of individual appeals (Center for Election Science/approval voting, Happier Lives Institute, MIRI, Charter Cities Institute, GiveDirectly), each with a one-line description. Useful curation, minimal original analysis.

Why this score

Quality 55 · Solid. A competent, well-organized resource guide that directs real donations, but essentially a curated link-list with little original thought -- mid-Solid.

Claude’s paradigm shift 25 · Slight. Slight. A service/roundup post; the value is curation, not ideas.

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. A practical year-end EA giving guide that directs real donations, but essentially a curated link-list with minimal original analysis; modest, indirect material reach keeps it discourse-adjacent → RWI 2.
