How AI describes EA Funds

EA Funds is a platform within Effective Altruism that pools donors’ contributions to fund high-impact work through four specialist funds: Animal Welfare, EA Infrastructure, Global Health and Development, and Long-Term Future. Grants range from $1,000 to $500,000 and are awarded to individuals, nonprofits, and institutions, with fund managers overseeing the process; the program has 52,000 donors and more than $110M in grants across about 1,544 grants. The fund’s approach emphasizes expected value, marginal and counterfactual impact, and information value, and provides a grants database plus opportunities to apply for funding.
