BERI's mission is to improve human civilization’s long-term prospects for survival and flourishing. 

BERI is an independent 501(c)(3) public charity. Our mission is to improve human civilization’s long-term prospects for survival and flourishing. Currently, our main strategy is to take on ethical and legal responsibility, as a collaborator, for projects deemed to be important for reducing existential risk. These projects mostly revolve around reducing risk from technologies that may pose significant civilization-scale dangers, as determined by research collaborators who have adopted existential risk reduction as both their primary career ambition and their primary area of intellectual focus.

I donated because BERI's mission is to improve human civilization’s long-term prospects for survival and flourishing, BERI is doing great work to this end, and I believe our civilization is currently not devoting nearly enough resources to this mission.
