Thanks, Zoë. I see funders are the ones deciding what to fund, and that you only provide advice if they so wish, as explained below. What if funders ask you for advice on which species to support? Do you base your advice on the welfare ranges presented in Bob’s book? Have you considered recommending research on welfare comparisons across species to such funders, such as the projects in RP’s research agenda on valuing impacts across species?
Q: Do Senterra Funders staff decide how funders make grant decisions?
A: No, each Senterra member maintains full autonomy over their grantmaking. Some Senterra members seek Senterra’s philanthropic advising, in which Senterra staff conduct research and make recommendations specific to the donor’s interests. Some Senterra members engage in collaborative grantmaking facilitated by Senterra staff. Ultimately, it’s up to each member to decide how and where to give.
Hi Vasco, Senterra Funders’ FAQ should answer your questions.
