If you showed me the list here and said ‘Which EA Fund should fund each of these?’ I would have put the Lohmar and the CLTR grants (which both look like v good grants and glad they are getting funded) in the longtermist fund. Based on your comments above you might have made the same call as well.
Thank you for sharing—as I mentioned I find this concrete feedback spelled out in terms of particular grants particularly useful.
[ETA: btw I do think part of the issue here is an “object-level” disagreement about where the grants best fit—personally, I definitely see why among the grants we’ve made they are among the ones that seem ‘closest’ to the LTFF’s scope; but I don’t personally view them as clearly being more in scope for the LTFF than for the EAIF.]

Thank you Max. A guess the interesting question then is why do we think different things. Is it just a natural case of different people thinking differently or have I made a mistake or is there some way the funds could better communicate.
One way to consider this might be to looking at juts the basic info / fund scope on the both EAIF and LTFF pages and ask: “if the man on the Clapham omnibus only read this information here and the description of these funds where do they think these grants would sit?”
