This is pretty interesting:

The main thing is, The Institute Formerly Known As The Singularity 
Institute will get funding for real research positions. That can mean a 
great deal in terms of actual results when dealing with a severely 
underresearched area like AI safety.

They also have a matching grant scheme that makes it rational to donate 
more:
