For the other recommended funds on the GWWC website, will you be evaluating the EA Infrastructure Fund, Founders Pledge Climate Fund, and the Founders Pledge Patient Philanthropy Fund? What will happen to their current recommended status in the meantime?
Also, did you evaluate GW’s Top Charity Fund of All Grants Fund?
GWWC picked Deworming as a probe into the difference between All Grants and Top Charities, and came away with the expected conclusion. Paraphrased: “AGF recommendations are highly impactful in expectation but with a wider outcome space (higher uncertainty either way)”.
In this round of evaluations, we only looked into Animal Charity Evaluators, GiveWell, Happier Lives Institute, EA Funds’ Animal Welfare Fund and Long-Term Future Fund, and Longview’s Emerging Challenges Fund. In future evaluations, we would like to look into Founders Pledge’s work, climate change more generally, and other evaluators. It’s too soon to commit to which, and in which order, just yet.
Also, did you evaluate GW’s Top Charity Fund of All Grants Fund?
Jonas’ reply is spot on here — we essentially looked into both and to GW more generally.

Re Top Charities vs All Grants, you can read it in the linked evaluation on GiveWell: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rn1d69KR3zfVzZaRZvSZNp1vcDap1hudzxngNqeFHuc/edit. As I read it, it’s both—and an evaluation of GiveWell as an advisor overall.
