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.

| Open Philanthropy | 600,000.00 | 1 | Animal welfare/factory farming/chicken/cage-free | https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/fai-farms-cage-free-egg-certification-and-summit | Lewis Bollard | Donation process: This grant appears to be a result of successful progress funded by a previous grant https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/fai-farms-cage-free-egg-investigation to launch a cage-free egg certification project. Also, the grant page says: "This project was supported through a contractor agreement. While we typically do not publish pages for contractor agreements, we occasionally opt to do so." Intended use of funds (category): Direct project expenses Intended use of funds: Grant "to support cage-free certification work — in partnership with the China Chain Store and Franchise Association — and a summit promoting poultry welfare and cage-free egg production. The certification project’s aim is to develop a large-scale production and certification model for cage-free eggs in China, the world’s largest egg producer." Donor reason for selecting the donee: No explicit reason is given, but the grant page hints at the scale of the problem being addressed: "The certification project’s aim is to develop a large-scale production and certification model for cage-free eggs in China, the world’s largest egg producer." Open Philanthropy has previously explained its support for cage-free campaigns at https://www.openphilanthropy.org/blog/initial-grants-support-corporate-cage-free-reforms and in other blog posts. Other notes: Intended funding timeframe in months: 24; affected countries: China. |
