Is it for the same reason CAIP appears to have gone bankrupt? That a “major funder” (read: Open Phil) pulled support and that triggered a cascade of funders pulling out?
EDIT: This is my unconfirmed understanding of the situation.
That’s not my understanding of what happened with CAIP, there’s various funders who are very happy to disagree with OpenPhil who I know have considered giving to CAIP and decided against. My understanding is that it’s based on actual reasons, not just an information cascade from OpenPhil
Assuming this is true, why would OP pull funding? I feel Apart’s work strongly aligns with OP’s goals. The only reason I can imagine is that they want to move money away from the early career talent building pipeline to more mid/late-stage opportunities.
OP has not pulled any funding. They’ve provided a few smaller grants over the last years that have been pivotal to Apart’s journey and I’m extremely grateful for this. OP has been a minority of Apart’s funding and the lack of support for the growth has been somewhat hard to decipher for us. Generally happy to chat more with OP staff about this, if anyone wish to reach out, of course.

No idea about Apart though

EAG London would be the perfect place to talk about this with OP folks. Either way, all the best fundraising!
