orgs like GiveWell are still getting a lot of funding
Itās not just that these orgs are still getting a lot of funding:
their funding is significantly increasing
thereās many more of them
many of them are making more and more varied grants themselves, e.g. GiveWell making 2 <$100k grants in 2026 which they didnāt use to do 5 years ago, Founders Pledge brand new Catalytic Impact Fund
there were more fellowship and grant and award opportunities than I could possibly apply to. It does not feel like that today.
Iām surprised by this, I think thereās a ton today. Iām not following this space actively but, besides the >100 job openings and >3 AIM programs mentioned above, hereās some off the top of my head:
You can also have a look at the most recent posts tagged āopportunities to take actionā and the EA opportunities board, thereās lots of non-AI stuff, enough to overwhelm newcomers as much as EA in 2021, and likely way more than EA in 2017.
Also in general if Coefficient Giving and others are making more grants to more things, it likely means that there are more opportunities.

High Impact Professionals Impact Accelerator Program
CEA bootcamp (which as far as I know is not mainly about AI)
School for Moral Ambition fellowships and circles
Magnify Mentoring mentee applications (I think it now accepts more people than WANBAM did five years ago, but canāt quickly find numbers. I see it got $371k from Coefficient Giving in August 2025, and their revenue seems to be increasing)
Animal Advocacy Careers course and career advising
Their Job Board has 21 job openings from last week
