I’m not involved in organizing EA Giving Tuesday this year, but want to share my personal opinion here that I initially think there’s a significant chance EAs could still direct >$100k of matching funds to effective charities despite the more severe match limits.
My very tentative guesses: ~75% the strategy would work to direct >$100k of matching funds given the level of EA interest in past years, but only ~30% it would be worthwhile given the time cost involved to EAs.
Rather than describe the potential strategy here publicly at the moment, I emailed the proposal to the EA Giving Tuesday team to consider. (If they don’t release some further update in the next week about it, I’ll reply to this comment here with an update on whether the strategy seems feasible and worthwhile after further consideration.)
Thanks Will! Just want to publicly acknowledge that we’d like to chat with you more about it.
I agree that there’s still a chance for EAs to shift a good amount to effective charities through the match, but I think in general there’s less of a need for the level of coordination than previously.
Looking forward to seeing what we can work out together! - Grace
