Nice concise write up and I’m super encouraged by your starting efforts. This charity idea makes so much sense to me and I really believe you can get a significant “win” in the next year or too. If you can even claim you contributed 20 percent to any state or nationwide tobacco policy in an LMIC, the cost effectiveness of your work is likely to be very impressive.
I also love that you have raised 16,000 in non EA funding as this both demonstrates good networking ability, and I also believe the counterfactual of pulling non EA related donations away from less important work makes this money potentially more valuable then EA sourced money, although very uncertain by how much.
I also appreciate that you have asked for an unusually small amount of money for the forum, great to see people operating on small budgets and only asking for what they can use right now. I would imagine you’ll get it soon!
