Let’s say I (or anyone else) read this post and am convinced, but am below the 10k/​year bar to talk to meta charity funders.
Is there a place where I could know where to donate and how much room for funding at which multiplier they expect? I’m happy to put some time on the analysis but don’t even know where to start.
There isn’t a neat document monitoring all this, as far as I know. There’s just a bunch of scattered stuff around the place. If you would like two to compare:
* I know that One for the World always has funding gaps. They run in-person events and coordinate student and young professional volunteers in the fields of business, law, and finance. https://​​forum.effectivealtruism.org/​​posts/​​Re3D8rt8TaWWDaKSa/​​oftw-early-results-from-new-growth-strategy—I think that at about $400k org costs and $1.5m money secured in 2025 they’re at a roughly 3.5x multiplier. (They’re implementing a strategy to raise this multiplier). They’re personally a favourite of mine because I am pretty sure their multiplier is an undercount as they genuinely reach people outside of the EA-sphere with their effective giving asks.
I certainly believe that both of these organisations are a better place to put your money than GiveWell’s Top Charities, if your aim is to move money to GiveWell’s Top Charities.

* Effective Altruism Australia has a comment on this post saying they have funding gaps and a 9x multiplier. They’re run by someone who used to do marketing at Giving What We Can.
