Why don’t EA orgs just us this as an arbitrage opportunity?
Create a spread sheet and share it on the forum EA orgs can add themselves to the spreadsheet if they agree to donate 100 dollars to all other charities on the list at a time x.
If 10 sign up they send $1,000 out and receive $2,000 back
If 30 sign up they send out $3,000 and receive $6,000 back consuming $90,000 of the total match remaining.
At 4:57 pm GMT there is ~194 K left for matching
This would also be an interesting case study in game theory, does EA have what it takes?
I don’t think people should do this because it seems like it is not in the spirit of the match.
Additionally, it would create a large risk of having the orgs removed from match eligibility (including retroactively removed). From the match terms and conditions:
Any activity not in the spirit of requesting separate individuals to support donations is being moderated by Every.org and Every.org reserves the right to permanently disqualify organizations for any attempts of misconduct. Every.org reserves the right to make final decisions on all matters concerning the allocation of the Incentive Fund.
That is a good point—upon reflection, risk of organizations being removed outweighs the potential benefit, thanks for looking into the terms and conditions.
No longer considered a good idea:
