I came across an assertion that “My impression is that earning to give is no longer very highly recommended, and EA is no longer seen as very funding constrained.” (source) It references a recent 80k report which I read through but don’t know enough to fully evaluate.
I find this assertion to be really confusing. Does it mean that I should no longer give to Against Malaria Foundation or similar organizations, because funding for them is already abundant?
I’m a newcomer to this forum, not particularly well read in EA texts and ignorant of anything going on in what is called the EA community. But I have been giving to AMF and similar organizations at the expense of donations that could have made an impact in my local community. I would like to figure out if this is sensible. Thanks!
