Takeaway from EA Global—If you’re running a nonprofit or fiscally-sponsored project and are trying to fundraise from the public: - Make sure you’re registered on Benevity (https://benevity.com/), both to ease payroll donations and for corporate matching. If you’re fiscally sponsored, your sponsor can list you as a ‘project’.
- Make sure you’re listed on large DAF platforms (Fidelity Charitable, Schwab); some folks prefer to do most/all their giving through DAFs.
- Please post your legal name and/or EIN on your website, someplace! (If you’re sponsored—your sponsor)
- Has anyone found out where Longview’s Nuclear Weapons Policy Fund grants to? I’m having trouble get a good picture of their grants, evaluation process, and of the larger space.
- Related, how do folks think about / evaluate organizations in this space? Like, how do you compare Nuclear Threat Initiative vs Center for Arms Control & Nonproliferation vs Arms Control Association?; the best I’ve got is a backwards-looking “have there been many/any alums of this organization going into government”?

- Unrelated—https://erictopol.substack.com/p/long-covid-mitochondria-the-big-miss—the author makes the case that the RECOVER Long Covid grants didn’t fund worthwhile work and there’s unlikely to be more funding. Is this a space for a ‘Fast Grants’-type structure or other backstopping?
