From people who have made significant plan changes, about a third are (in part) earning to give (though usually they’re also going for career capital too). But this could overestimate the proportion. [this was also partly the figure I had in mind, though it’s a bit different].
Thinking through EA groups, often a significant fraction (like over 30%) of ppl are software engineers or similar and donating income.
GiveWell users and GWWC members also make up a big fraction of “dedicated EAs”, and if you count them as mainly contributing through their donations, then it could be a majority. There’s thousands of them compared to hundreds changing plans due to 80k (excluding etg).
Good point, it’s very hard to tell.
