Yep! We have solicited and received funding from Open Philanthropyâs Effective Altruism (Global Health and Wellbeing) program. We most recently worked together with them on an Effective Giving Summit earlier this year (funded by them and organized by our Partner Events team).
We have discussed whether they or other OP teams (other than GCRCB) would be interested in funding CEA. While I donât want to speak for them, my (briefly summarized) understanding of why we have had more success with GCRCB is because they have a higher willingness to pay for talent.
Thanks for clarifying this! I agree with Jasonâs point that the percentage of CEAâs funding coming from OPâs GCRCB team is high enough that the exact figure doesnât really change the incentives much. But Iâm very glad that CEA has made the effort to try and diversify OPâs funding.
I do want to flag that if your understanding is correct, it seems quite bad/âweird that the incentives/âpriorities/âstrategies of the most important EA community building organization are significantly (mainly?) influenced by differences in âwillingness to pay for talentâ between OPâs GCRCB and GHWCR teams.
