It’s a little hard to say because we don’t necessarily know the background / interests of all donors, but my current guess is around 2%-5% in 2021 so far. It’s varied by year (we’ve received big grants from non-EA sources in the past). So far, it is almost always to support animal welfare research (or unrestricted, but from a group motivated to support us due to our animal welfare research).
One tricky part of separating this out—there are a lot of people in the animal welfare community who are interested in impact (in an EA sense), but maybe not interested in non-animal EA things.
