Thanks! I’m trying to understand the structure of the EA funds, isn’t “direct work” outside of the scope of the Infrastructure Fund?
> this Fund supports work that could multiply the impact of direct work, including projects that provide intellectual infrastructure for the effective altruism community, run events, disseminate information, or fundraise for effective charities
Have you funded “direct” global health interventions in the past?
I agree it is confusing but I prefer to just fund impactful things and worry less about what fits in the scope of the fund. And even if the other fund managers deem it out of scope, I frequently can refer it to other interested funders.
Interesting, thanks! Do you happen to have in mind a recent example of a non-infrastructure intervention that was funded directly or indirectly through the Infrastructure Fund?
The best example I have right now is that I funded a climate change research group but arguably research is still infrastructure… I’d like to fund some more direct stuff though
I’d be willing to fund these sorts of things via the Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund
Thanks!
