Executive summary: Meta Charity Funders (MCF) granted $2,043,176 to 11 projects in their second funding round, a significant increase from the previous round, with plans to open the next round in late August 2024.
Key points:
MCF funded a diverse set of projects, including AI safety initiatives, effective giving organizations, local EA groups, and initiatives targeting ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs).
The quality of applications improved compared to the previous round, partly due to information shared by MCF. Clear Theories of Change are crucial for successful applications.
Some smaller EA organizations received funding due to changes in CEA’s funding priorities.
Anonymity was granted to some organizations when deemed necessary, although MCF prefers open disclosure.
The next funding round will open in late August 2024, with a minimum expected annual donation of $100,000 for new MCF members.
MCF is particularly interested in funding initiatives targeting UHNWIs, but stresses the importance of having the right skillset for this work.
