  I love this. It reminds me of stuff like MyPlace (https://​​www.nytimes.com/​​2020/​​07/​​15/​​travel/​​airbnb-alternatives-home-sharing.html) but simpler/​​cleaner as a sheet.

  Thanks! We applied and had the final in-person interview with them in 2019 and didn’t get in, and then it no longer made sense after the first round.

  Hi Aaron. We’re currently curating our own funds across a range of cause areas (pulling together existing evaluators/​recommendations), and we’re certainly open to integrating with existing funds at some point!

  Thanks! Great question. Yes, it’s primarily designed to help people who aren’t as familiar with effective giving make more meaningful donations. But even for people already engaged, it’ll help organize your charities in one place, automate all of your donations, and track the impact of every dollar.

  in reply to: SiebeRozendal’s comment on: To Grow a Healthy Move­ment, Pick the Low-Hang­ing Fruit

  Hi Siebe—it’s definitely worth distinguishing effective giving, career choice, x-risk, etc. There’s likely a whole host of factors that differ between them. To your point (and Peter’s question above), it’s worth sorting out how we handle this differentiation.

  Thanks for this. The SEGS consisted of seven items on a 7-point Likert agree/​disagree scale: (1) I am interested in Effective Altruism, (2) I would like to learn more about Effective Altruism, (3) I support the Effective Altruism movement, (4), I would share information about Effective Altruism with people in my network, (5) I identify as an “effective altruist,” (6) I would like to meet others who support Effective Altruism, and (7) I will donate my money based on Effective Altruism. We also measured a few more-behavioral outcomes e.g., a windfall donation task (in which participants allocated money between Deworm the World, Make a Wish, a local choir, and keeping it for themselves), and willingness to sign the GWWC pledge. For the SEGS x Empathy relationship, we controlled for past giving behavior to try to feather that out.

  Ah yes, the links to the scales don’t appear to work in the PDF, here are open-access versions:
