Hi Daniela, could you clarify what you mean by āmost of the EA funds are being given to only 2 organizations? (At least for Animal welfare)ā
There is no consensus on what counts as āEA fundsā, but people usually include Open Philanthropy, which is by far the largest funder and funds many organizations. Are you referring to the EA Animal Welfare Fund? They also support many organizations.
Many national effective giving orgs currently only show The Humane League and Good Food Institute on their website, but that does not imply āmost of the EA fundsā are being given to them. Also, Giving What We Can allows donors to support several other projects in animal welfare, I imagine that as other effective giving organizations grow, they might also add more projects if thereās enough interest from donors (but Iām just speculating.)
On āevaluating the evaluatorsā you might be interested in this page from Giving What We Can and the evaluation of ACE and the EA Animal Welfare Fund
