The Greenfield Project 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.

Open Philanthropy250,000.0022019-05Animal welfare/factory farminghttps://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/greenfield-project-general-support-2019Amanda Hungerford Intended use of funds (category): Organizational general support

Intended use of funds: The grant page says: "This new funding represents an “exit grant” that will provide The Greenfield Project with approximately one year of operating support to allow them to secure other funding."

Donor reason for donating that amount (rather than a bigger or smaller amount): The budget https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/The_Greenfield_Project/Greenfield_Project_Budget.png submitted by the grantee for the previous grant https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/greenfield-project-general-support had a total estimated annual cost of $250,000. This grant covers funding for one year according to that budget.

Donor reason for donating at this time (rather than earlier or later): The grant timing is around the end of the two-year timeframe for the previous grant.
Intended funding timeframe in months: 12

Donor thoughts on making further donations to the donee: This is an exit grant; Open Philanthropy does not intend to make further grants to The Greenfield Project.

Other notes: Affected countries: United States.

Intended use of funds (category): Organizational general support

Intended use of funds: Grant for "a new group created by Liz Hallinan and Ashley Carr, to push for federal reforms to improve farm animal welfare. The Greenfield Project plans to use this grant to conduct research, build relationships with government officials, build coalitions, and use legal and public relations advocacy to advance farm animal welfare reforms."

Donor reason for donating that amount (rather than a bigger or smaller amount): The budget https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/The_Greenfield_Project/Greenfield_Project_Budget.png submitted by the grantee had a total estimated annual cost of $250,000. The funding of $500,000 seems to be for two years.

Donor reason for donating at this time (rather than earlier or later): The organization seems to just be getting started and the grant is intended to provide general support for its initial years.
Intended funding timeframe in months: 24

Donor retrospective of the donation: The followup grant https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/greenfield-project-general-support-2019 (2019-05) is an exit grant, suggesting some satisfaction with the grantee but not enough.
