I came across this spreadsheet buried in a comment thread. I don’t know who made it (maybe @MarcusAbramovitch knows) but, it’s great. It shows a breakdown of all OP grants by cause area and organisation, updated automatically every day:
This is great. Do we know if all grants are assigned to only one area? In other words, if I want to know the total amount spent on farmed animal welfare more broadly, is it appropriate to add up the sums for “Farmed Animal Welfare” + “Broiler Chicken Welfare” + “Cage-Free Reforms” + . . . .
You can see the raw data in the final tab, everything is only given one “Focus Area”, and there are some obviously less-than-ideal codings (e.g. “F.R.E.E. — Broiler and Cage-Free Reforms in Romania” is “Farm Animal Welfare” but not “Broiler Chicken Welfare”)
Edit: sorry I didn’t read your question properly, I think the answer to whether it’s appropriate to add up “Farmed Animal Welfare” + “Broiler Chicken Welfare” + “Cage-Free Reforms” etc is yes
Thanks! In your example, one could argue for placing F.R.E.E. in “Cage-Free Reforms” as well. That might explain the use of “Farmed Animal Welfare” for that grant, since there may have been a decent argument for multiple more specific categories.
Thanks for re-sharing! Unfortunately, these make it quite unclear how much they’ve given to EA. (I assume it’s a large chunk of ‘GCR Capacity Building’
