Executive summary: Meta Charity Funders aims to support “meta” projects that enhance the impact of others in the effective altruism space, providing guidance on how to apply successfully and what types of projects they fund.
Key points:
Common reasons for rejection include: projects outside scope, unclear theory of change, premature scaling, and insufficient alternative funding sources.
Successful applications demonstrate strong founders, strategic alignment with field needs, and appropriate funding requests.
MCF is a network of individual donors, not a unified organization, with limited time for application review.
“Meta” projects focus on infrastructure, evaluation, and strategic guidance rather than direct impact interventions.
An example proposal is provided, illustrating desired elements like clear goals, impact measurement plans, and team profiles.
Transparency about the funding process and limitations on feedback are emphasized.
