Will you allow individuals to fund EA Grants in the future.
We probably won’t raise EA Grants money from more than a handful of donors. I think we can secure funding from CEA’s existing donor base and the overhead of raising money from multiple funders probably isn’t worth the cost.
That said, there are two related things that we will probably do:
We’ll probably refer some promising projects to other funders. We did this last round for projects that we couldn’t fund for legal reasons and for projects where existing funders had more expertise in the project than we did.
We’ll probably send applicants that were close to getting funding but didn’t to other funders that might be interested in the project.
