Effective Ideas Blog Prize donations received

This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

FTX Future Fund900,000.0012022-01Effective altruismhttps://ftxfuturefund.org/our-grants/?_funding_stream=ad-hocLongview Philanthropy Donation process: This grant is part of staff-led grantmaking by FTX Future Fund. https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/paMYXYFYbbjpdjgbt/future-fund-june-2022-update#Staff_led_grantmaking_in_more_detail (GW, IR) says: "Unlike the open call and regranting, these grants and investments are not a test of a particular potentially highly scalable funding model. These are projects we funded because we became aware of them and thought they were good ideas." This particular grant is co-recommended by LongView Philanthropy and the funding is to be administered by Longview Media.

Intended use of funds (category): Direct project expenses

Intended use of funds: Grant to "support prizes for outstanding writing which encourages a broader public conversation around effective altruism and longtermism."
