Thanks for writing this, Ben! It is an interesting analysis. Here are some thoughts that I had while reading:
What could also be interesting would be looking at the concordance/ā disconcordance between some of the regranting funds in this area (e.g., EAA fund, EA Animal Welfare Fund, and OWA.)
What could also be interesting for Open Phil and ACE is comparing and contrasting the funding allocations across the concordant groups.
Some of the discordance between Open Phil and ACE might also be explained by different views about the potential of cultivated meat, different overall capacities for funding, and different approaches on restricting funding.
Lastly, two quick notes:
Three charities which were named āStandout Charitiesā by ACE but did not receive Open Phil grants did receive grants from the Centre for Effective Altruismās Animal Welfare Fund (Animal Ethics, Faunalytics, and Compassion in World FarmingāUSA).
I think Compassion in World FarmingāUSA has received three Open Phil grants.
None of the charities ACE comprehensively reviewed but did not recommend have received a grant from Open Phil.
I think Compassion in World Farming International has been comprehensively reviewed by ACE and then not recommended but have received several Open Phil grants.
I think Compassion in World FarmingāUSA has received three Open Phil grants.
Good catch, SVB was the one who did not receive an OP grant (AFAICT) but did get one from the Fund. The text has been updated.
I think Compassion in World Farming International has been comprehensively reviewed by ACE and then not recommended but have received several Open Phil grants.
Interesting, thanks! Youāre right ā I will look more into what happened here. It could be that my script got confused about the difference between the domestic and international version of CIWF.
