They’re influenced by GiveWell, and GiveWell is part of EA.
Or even if you don’t think GiveWell is part of EA, they’re very similar to EA in their approach, and many of the staff are explicitly EAs or supporters of EA. I think GiveWell has also been influenced by other groups in EA, though it’s hard to tell.
I agree that GiveWell could be considered part of EA. Ultimately I see that as a merely semantic question. My and I think AGB’s point is that the donors who follow GiveWell aren’t self-identified members of the “EA movement”, and aren’t giving because of EA outreach specifically. It appears that organizations doing EA outreach specifically get much more than 5% of the money donated by members of the “EA movement” who were inspired to give by those organizations.
