How did you choose the set of evaluators to evaluate—for instance, why evaluate LTFF and LLF over FP’s GCR fund? Were there other evaluators considered for the process but not evaluated?
Thanks for your question! We explain the general principles we used to choose which evaluator to investigate here, and go into our specific considerations for each evaluator in their evaluation reports.
For FP’s GCR Fund compared to LTFF and LLF specifically, some of the main considerations were (1) our donors had so far been donating most to the LTFF, so the stakes were higher there, and (2) Longview was one of the most-named options by other effective giving organisations as an evaluator they weren’t relying on yet but were interested in learning more about.
And yes there are other evaluators we’ve considered and are considering for future evaluations, some of which we mention throughout the reports. See here for an overview of the impact-focused evaluators making publicly available recommendations that we are currently aware of, and which we may consider in our next iterations of this project.
