Thanks for elaborating, Rosie! I said over 90 % of the grants you made were to organisations already supported by EA, but I have now corrected it to 71.8 % (see 2nd paragraph of my comment). I was relying on the total money granted displayed on the website, but I do not think it is correct. Now I am just adding up the amount of all the grants there.
FEM, Suvita and LEEP we evaluated and granted to at an early stage (I think we did the first EA-style evals of them? my bad if another funder org did this before us and I didn’t realise). I think there’s value here in ‘identifying promising charities and getting up to scale asap’.
The 3 organisations above were incubated by Charity Entrepeneurship (see links in my previous comment), which is very much aligned with effective altruism, so I assume they take most of the credit for their existence and evaluation.
Our most recent grants aren’t up on the website yet: I don’t think (? could be wrong) 1daysooner’s malaria stuff has gotten EA funding yet, Ubongo isn’t EA supported afaik, or Essential.
Open Phil has granted 2.1 M$ to 1Day Sooner from 2020 to 2021. I also do not recall EA-aligned funders supporting Ubongo or Essential. I think you could link to the websites of these organisations in the page of your fund, as you did for the other grants.
correct: to be absolutely clear, CE and the orgs themselves definitely incubated and developed the first CEAs for the CE charities (not us!). Thanks for this, will edit my comment. What I meant was is that evaluating and supporting orgs in the ‘no longer a seed stage charity but also not yet at scale’ stage is a key role that I see for the FP GHD fund, and I think we’ve had previous success here.
Yep, 1DS’ pandemic preparedness has been supported by OP. And thanks, I will mention to our comms team. FYI that our impact report is upcoming onto the website, which will list all recent grantmaking.
(also cheers for this post, and making the subtleties & differences between different GHD funds etc clearer!)
