Is there no one time big donors? and is Open Philanthropy included in there? and Givewell?
This 2021 post by Ben Todd gives a lot of detail about the financial resources of the EA movement. Here is a useful table:
It seems better to interpret GiveWell as a coordinator/distributor of money, not a source of money.
I’m uncertain what you mean when mentioning big one-time donors. Moskovitz and Bankman-Fried seem to want to donate the vast majority of their money, but for many reasons, it seems better to do this gradually.
Is it earning to give the only form of donations?
I’m not certain I understand what you mean, and you could be intending several different things.
Here’s some verbose comments that might be helpful?
It seems plausible to interpret all current sources of EA funding, including Sam Bankman-Fried, Dustin Moskovitz and Cari Tuna, as from earning to give.
There is no major government source of direct funding if that is what you meant.
More recently, there has been a push from EAs to coordinate or set policy from inside governments and institutions, they would redirect funding, resources or policy in some way. For example, they might change tax or trade policy, e.g. raising alcohol taxes. If you meant “in-kind” donations in some way, this is the only thing that comes to mind.
I’m not an expert and I’m not sure this comment was helpful.
Thank you very much for your interest and please feel free to clarify or ask anything else!
Thank you for answering, it was helpful. So, with “other from of donations” I was referring to “one time donations”. So both of your questions are about the same thing.
I understand that “earning to give” refers only to the donations that came from people who give a percentage of their income every month. At least it sounds like donations from people who are pledging on giving.
Either way if it is actually included or not, Nuno says that it’s irrelevant.
