Effective altruism funding

TagLast edit: Oct 10, 2023, 12:39 PM by Amber Dawn

Posts with the effective altruism funding tag discuss EA funding networks, the availability of funds for different cause areas, grantmaking strategy, etc.

Not meant for posts that discuss specific funding decisions (for that, use the “Donation Writeup” tag).

Examples of EA funders includes: EA Funds, Open Philanthropy Project, Survival & Flourishing Fund, Founders Pledge Funds

Free-spending EA might be a big problem for optics and epistemics
