Edit: I missed Jason’s phrase about soliciting donations from the public. I don’t think that it matters personally, and I wasn’t aware that OpenPhil isn’t doing this, but it’s at least not what Jason meant.
The Open Philanthropy 501(c)(3) is governed by a Board of Directors currently consisting of Dustin Moskovitz (Chair), Cari Tuna, Divesh Makan, Holden Karnofsky, and Alexander Berger. Open Philanthropy LLC is governed by a Board of Managers currently consisting of Dustin Moskovitz, Cari Tuna, Elie Hassenfeld, Holden Karnofsky, and Alexander Berger.
″ . . . . that solicits donations from the public.” I didn’t see any such solicitation on Open Phil’s website.
Open Phil makes recommendations to some entities not controlled by Moskovitz and Tuna, but in addition to them being recommendations, I don’t really consider other megadonors to be “the public.” They know they are something like free-riding on Moskovitz and Tuna’s research arm. In contrast, FLI is soliciting donations from ordinary people, including by asking them to designate FLI via the Amazon Smile program.

Oops:
Does Open Philanthropy solicit donations from the public?
I was under the impression that they do, but I might have been mistaken.
they do not
