Should we work with EA-aligned orgs to support them methodologically with their impact management and MEL, or with non-EA orgs to motivate them to shift towards a more EA-aligned approach regarding impact management?
Not sure, both options have their merits. The Mission Motor is focused on doing the latter for animal welfare organisations, maybe touch base with them to see what their experience has been (if you haven’t already).
Do you know EA-related orgs that could need support with impact planning (e.g. with developing a Theory of Change), tracking, or analysis?
I know lots of city and national organisations funded by the Centre for Effective Altruism’s Community Building Grants programme would like to improve their M&E (including ourselves at EA Netherlands, but we’ve already got outside support). Perhaps you could contact Naomi, who is responsible for this programme.
What is your intuition on the level of capacity spent on and knowledge about impact management in EA organizations?
I’m most familiar with community-building EA organisations like ourselves. My impression is that EA CB orgs tend to do better than the average non-profit, but we’re still nowhere near as good as we ought to be.
Do you work for an organization yourself (or know one well) that might want to build a ToC with us or do a tracking or measurement workshop?
At EA Netherlands we’re already getting outside support with our M&E but I think other national organisations would be interested. Again, I’d consider contacting Naomi from CEA. Right now she’s putting together the programme for our next retreat and several requests have been made for M&E training.

Thanks so much. Yes, we are already in touch with Nicole and I will for sure contact Naomi :)
