Both posts contain a more detailed breakdown of inputs, but in short:
80k seems to include every entry in the Open Phil grants database, whereas my sheet filters out items such as criminal justice reform that don’t map to the type of funding I’m attempting to track.
They also add a couple of ‘best guess’ terms to estimate unknown/undocumented funding sources; I do not.
I know I’m late to the party, but thanks for the data!
One question: Why does your number for 2019 so different from 80K’s estimates (https://80000hours.org/2021/08/effective-altruism-allocation-resources-cause-areas/)?
