2023: “We expect to find more outstanding giving opportunities than we can fully fund unless our community of supporters substantially increases its giving.”
Giving Season 2022: “We’ve set a goal of raising $600 million in 2022, but our research team has identified $900 million in highly cost-effective funding gaps. That leaves $300 million in funding gaps unfilled.”
July 2022: “we don’t expect to have enough funding to support all the cost-effective opportunities we find.” Reports rolling over some money from 2021, but much less than originally believed.
Giving Season 2021: GiveWell expects to roll over $110MM, but also believes it will find very-high-impact opportunities for those funds in the next year or two.
Giving Season 2020: No suggestion that GW will run out of good opportunities—“If other donors fully meet the highest-priority needs we see today before Open Philanthropy makes its January grants, we’ll ask Open Philanthropy to donate to priorities further down our list. It won’t give less funding overall—it’ll just fund the next-highest-priority needs.”
