Thanks for this post! I believe this is the first time that the Animal Welfare Fund is giving anonymous grants, but someone can correct me if I’m wrong. I was aware that the EAIF and LTFF are now able to do this, but I wasn’t aware that the AWF is now able to do this too.
I personally think it’s fine that there are anonymous grants, though I’m not sure what others would say. Anyway, maybe EA Funds should indicate in their Apply for Funding page and the application form that the AWF will consider funding applications from grantseekers who wish to remain anonymous in public reporting? It currently says that only the EAIF and LTFF do this.

Thanks! Yeah, that is right, this is the first time.

It would also probably be good if the AWF can say a few lines in this grant report or as a comment about how they decide on whether to publish a grant as anonymous or not.
This round, we report five anonymous grants after receiving advice from internal and external advisors, and further weighing the pros and cons of public reporting. We consider these grants to have a high expected impact, and report that there were no conflicts of interest in evaluating them.

Good point! Thanks for pointing it out :)
We should have those updated shortly.
No problem!
