If I remember correctly, GHDF predated GW’s creation of the Top Charities Fund and the All Grants Fund.
The All Grants Fund waslaunched in August 2022, and GW’s Maximum Impact Fund was renamed to Top Charities Fund one month later. GHDF made its 1st grant in 2017. The Maximum Impact Fund had been making grants since 2014.
In addition, I think GiveWell UK is of fairly recent origin, so EA Funds would have offered UK tax advantages that were not then (at least readily) available through GiveWell.
Good point! GiveWell UK was launched in August 2022.
So I think at least some of the original advantages of GHDF may have become much less significant with subsequent developments at GiveWell?

I think so.
