FWIW the main point I wanted to make in this post is that individuals should not be reaching out to Anthropic staff who don’t actively indicate they want to be pitched directly. Part of our strategy is to have a high-trust call to action, but this is mostly based on conversations we’ve had with Anthropic staff themselves.
I’m not particularly against newer funds coming on to the scene and agree with a lot of the comments in this post about the pros of doing so.
As a small nitpick some of these major funds do give a lot of smaller donations to smaller, less established organizations, so I wouldn’t say major funds = money goes to major orgs.
I would say in general major funds = money goes to major orgs, is there evidence against this? GiveWell for example gives most of its money to very big orgs. Even if the major orgs give some donations to smaller orgs, that’s usually a smlall percent of what they do.
I had in mind the EA Animal Welfare fund where small orgs is a reasonable part of its giving portfolio (I don’t have exact numbers off the top of my head)
