On the T-bond for operational expenses...I really hope not. It really messes with the purity of message, and if the impact is there, they should get support and not be forced to muddy the message for the general public. Just 100% of yield goes to Givedirectly. Then let the people who know the great work that GLO is doing support it.
Just like Givewell… If people thought their donation was supporting Givewell’s overhead, they would be less likely to support the Impact Fund.
Smart EAs should support effective institutions and enable those institutions to offer clearer propositions to the public.
On https://secure.givewell.org/, you first check a box for what fund you want to donate to, and then there’s a a checkbox asking you to “Add 10% for GiveWell’s unrestricted use (likely to support GiveWell’s operating expenses)”

Does the Impact Fund not take a small percentage to support GiveWell’s overhead? I just always assumed they did.
