Yonatan Cale comments on What do Marginal Grants at EAIF Look Like? Funding Priorities and Grantmaking Thresholds at the EA Infrastructure Fund

[Yonatan Cale]

Hey, is it a reasonable interpretation that EAIF is much much more interested in growing EA than in supporting existing EAs?

(I’m not saying this is a mistake)

P.S

Here are the “support existing EAs” examples I saw:

• “[funding a] PhD student to attend a one-month program” [$100k tier] - this seems like a very different grant than the other examples, I’m even surprised to see this under EAIF rather than LTFF

• “A shared workspace for the EA community” [$5M tier] - totally supports existing EAs

• “an open-source Swapcard alternative” [$10M tier] - I’m surprised this isn’t under CEA
