It sounds like you’re saying that GiveWell in general is funding constrained because it can’t give out all the grants it would like to. My question was specifically whether the top charities (AMF, Malaria Consortium, Helen Keller, New Incentives) are fully-funded.
This question is important to me because I am Australian and unable to tax deduct donations to GiveWell but can tax deduct donations to the top charities.
Henry, apologies for the delayed response—I’m still sorting my notification settings here and didn’t get pinged that you had replied. I can confirm that we are seeing ongoing gaps at our Top Charities specifically (we approved a $41m grant to AMF just last week; grant page to come). As you may know, GiveWell directs funds on a grant by grant basis—if you’d like your gift to benefit from the investigations of our research team, you can contribute to the Top Charities Fund by giving through EA Australia. We coordinate with them to distribute according to our assessment of the best grant opportunities of our Top Charities each quarter.
