Charity evaluators that publicly share their researchâsuch as GiveWell, Founders Pledge and Animal Charity Evaluatorsâhave arguably not only helped move a lot of money to effective funding opportunities but also introduced many people to the principles of effective altruism, which they have applied in their lives in various ways. Apart from some relatively small projects (1) (2) (3) there is currently no public EA research presence in the growing impact investing sector, which is both large in the amount of money being invested and in its potential to draw more exceptional peopleâs attention to the effective altruism movement. Weâd love to see an organization that takes GiveWell-quality funding opportunity research to the impact investing space and publicly shares its findings.
Seeing this late, but this is a wonderful idea! Will Roderick and I worked on âGiveWell for Impact Investingâ a while ago and published this research on the EA Forum. We ultimately pursued other professional priorities, but we continue to think the space is very promising, stay involved, and may reenter it in the future.
