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 | 300,000.00 | 1 | Land use reform | https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/land-use-reform/greater-greater-washington-housing-and-land-use-reform-2019 | Alexander Berger | Intended use of funds (category): Direct project expenses Intended use of funds: Grant "to support its work on housing affordability and land use reform. Greater Greater Washington is a news and advocacy organization that focuses on housing, transportation, and other local policy issues in the greater Washington, D.C. metro area." Donor reason for donating that amount (rather than a bigger or smaller amount): No explicit reason is given for the amount, but it is similar to the previous amount of $250,000; the difference in the amount is approximately proportional to the difference in timeframe (2 years versus 2.5 years). Donor reason for donating at this time (rather than earlier or later): The grant is made around the end of the timeframe of the previous two-year grant https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/land-use-reform/greater-greater-washington-housing-and-land-use-reform-2017 (2017-06). Intended funding timeframe in months: 30 Other notes: Affected countries: United States; affected cities: Washington, D.C.. |

Open Philanthropy | 250,000.00 | 2 | Land use reform | https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/land-use-reform/greater-greater-washington-housing-and-land-use-reform-2017 | Washington, D.C. | Donation process: The grant is a result of the grant renewal request https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/Greater_Greater_Washington/Greater_Greater_Washington_Grant_Renewal_Request_April_2017.pdf of a previous grant https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/land-use-reform/smart-growth-america-greater-greater-washington-education-project to Smart Growth America for the Greater Greater Washington Education Project. Intended use of funds (category): Direct project expenses Intended use of funds: Grant to support "work on housing affordability and land use reform." The grant renewal request https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/Greater_Greater_Washington/Greater_Greater_Washington_Grant_Renewal_Request_April_2017.pdf has more details. Donor reason for selecting the donee: The grant page says: "we see the coalition it has helped coordinate in support of including more housing in D.C.’s revised Comprehensive Plan as a promising initial step." It links to http://www.dchousingpriorities.org/ (for the coalition) and https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/7/24/16010720/dc-comprehensive-plan (as a refeerence for the promising nature). Donor reason for donating that amount (rather than a bigger or smaller amount): The grant renewal request https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/Greater_Greater_Washington/Greater_Greater_Washington_Grant_Renewal_Request_April_2017.pdf includes budget projections. The "maintain scenario" has a total two-year budget of $275,000, compared to the actual amount of $250,000. Donor thoughts on making further donations to the donee: Followup granting is not explicitly discussed, but the grant page says: "We think it is mostly too early to tell whether its work has had any impact on housing construction or affordability" suggesting that more evidence may be brought into play before deciding on a followup grant. Donor retrospective of the donation: The followup grant https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/land-use-reform/greater-greater-washington-housing-and-land-use-reform-2019 (2019-08) suggests continued satisfaction with the grantee. Other notes: Intended funding timeframe in months: 24; affected countries: Alexander Berger; affected states: United States; announced: 2017-08-11. |
