I think a good part of the appeal is that it is low cost strategy (relative to one where lots of context is provided).
Our main funders have a lot of context on our work, and so our grant applications are missing a lot of information that a typical Forum reader would need. This includes basic stuff like ā what problem are you trying to solve?ā
Note the target audience will be more familiar with the work than a random EA Forum reader. For example, if you were raising funds for the Nucleic Acid Observatory (NAO), your target audience would be more familiar with bio and more likely to have read other posts about NAO.
There is a lot of information you can share in a private grant request that you canāt make public.
Thanks for the good context, Jeff.

Fair! Some information would have to be removed.
