Executive summary: Rethink Priorities faces a significant funding gap and risks being unable to continue important work like the EA Survey, research publications, and innovative projects without additional funding from individual donors.
Key points:
Rethink Priorities has contributed significantly in areas like invertebrate welfare and moral weights, but now risks losing momentum and narrowing its focus without more funding.
Rethink Priorities performs valuable community services like the EA Survey with little institutional support, relying on individual donors.
Much of Rethink Priorities’ most innovative work depends entirely on unrestricted funding from individuals.
Rethink Priorities aims to promote intellectual independence and serve the EA community in areas that may be neglected.
With additional funding, Rethink Priorities could publish more research reports, extend models like the cross-cause model, continue various survey projects, and pursue new directions in AI policy, animal welfare, and more.
Supporting Rethink Priorities also builds talent pipelines and supports field-building for the EA community.
