I’m wrong and they’re not outstanding orgs, but discovering that takes work the praisers haven’t done.
The praise is a way to virtue signal, but people don’t actually put their money behind it.
The praise is truly meant and people put their money behind it, but none of the praise is from the people with real money.
I believe CE has received OpenPhil money and ALLFED CEA and SFF money, just not as much as they wanted. Maybe the difference is not in # of grants approved, but in how much room for funding big funders believe they have or want to fill.
I’m not sure of CE’s funding situation, it was the incubated orgs that they pitched as high-need.
Maybe the OpenPhil AI and meta teams are more comfortable fully funding something than other teams.
ALLFED also gets academic grants, maybe funders fear their money will replace those rather than stack on top of.
OpenPhil has a particular grant cycle, maybe it doesn’t work for some orgs (at least not as their sole support).
Some hypotheses:
I’m wrong, and they are adequately funded
