What advice would you give to someone applying for the first time for the grant? Also, can you share some non-obvious mistakes applicants make?

Hi Luke, I’m curious to hear how would you define success for GWWC in five years’ time? E.g. do you have a target number of pledgers?
Hey everyone, since I’m fairly new around here I thought it would be good to quickly introduce myself—I’m Maja, a digital marketing consultant. My journey with EA began when my partner introduced me to the movement a couple of years ago and since then I’ve been thinking about how I can best use my skills and career.
I find the ideas and people in the EA movement really inspiring, and I’m currently working on founding an effective giving organisation and community aimed at freelancers and entrepreneurs called Freelancing For Good (FFG). Our aim is to introduce freelancers to effective altruism and inspire them to use their skills and businesses for a positive impact.
I’m excited to be here and looking forward to connecting and learning from you all!
Hope it’s okay to share Freelancing For Good which I co-founded. This is a new EA-aligned community specifically aimed at freelancers. Our mission is to introduce freelancers both within and outside EA to different high-impact pathways for doing good e.g. earning to give, working on projects addressing pressing issues, or starting their own charitable project.
We also have a Slack channel if anyone wants to join!
