- Has anyone found out where Longview’s Nuclear Weapons Policy Fund grants to? I’m having trouble get a good picture of their grants, evaluation process, and of the larger space.
- Related, how do folks think about / evaluate organizations in this space? Like, how do you compare Nuclear Threat Initiative vs Center for Arms Control & Nonproliferation vs Arms Control Association?; the best I’ve got is a backwards-looking “have there been many/any alums of this organization going into government”?
- Unrelated—https://erictopol.substack.com/p/long-covid-mitochondria-the-big-miss—the author makes the case that the RECOVER Long Covid grants didn’t fund worthwhile work and there’s unlikely to be more funding. Is this a space for a ‘Fast Grants’-type structure or other backstopping?
Top-line, gave ~25% of my income—primarily to Global Health and Climate causes. This year I focused on a smaller # of organizations at higher levels than in 2022, based on feedback on last year’s thread.
26k to GiveWell Top Charities Fund; add’l 11k to Against Malaria Fund
35k to climate organizations - (EA-ish): Silverlining, Clean Air Task Force; (non-EA—focused on a US state-level organization, data organization, and industry-focused organizations): Fresh Energy, Carbonplan, IREC, InnerSpace
Balance to Nuclear Threat Initiative, University of Washington’s Virology & Epidemiology Funds
Happy holidays!
