“Animal Charity Evaluators began in 2012 under the name Effective Animal Activism (EAA), as a division of the U.K.-based charity 80,000 Hours … In 2013, EAA underwent significant changes. Although our original focus was on creating discussion about tactics to help animals, this shifted towards an emphasis on creating quality educational and research content. EAA hired our first Executive Director Jon Bockman and merged with his charity, Justice for Animals, thereby officially becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our mission was revised to specify the goal of finding and promoting highly effective opportunities for helping animals, and we rebranded as Animal Charity Evaluators”
Each of the “children” of EVF are all legally part of EVF, and so share the same trustees.
CEA seems to have, or have had, an “advisory panel”: https://www.centreforeffectivealtruism.org/blog/advisory-panel-at-cea
A long time ago I was on an “advisory board” for 80k; not sure if they still have one: https://80000hours.org/2014/06/advisory-board-report-june-2014/
Not quite the same question but I believe ACE started as one of the CEA children but is a separate entity now.
