I would absolutely love to see the result of vetting from someone more experienced than myself (that is, experienced at all). I’ve been out of the loop for a while—is EA Funds the main EA grantmaker, or are there others too?
Given the low amount of funding overall, I suspect board members or volunteers might be contributing to the organization’s operating expenses in a way that isn’t tracked, which could substantially change the equation. The financial report they published was focused on proving they were using donations for the stated purpose, and not really intended for an efficiency evaluation.
These are all great points; thank you for raising them.
