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.

| With More Donors on Board, Open Philanthropy Is Spinning Its Criminal Justice Work into a New Fund | 2021-11-16 | Katherine Don | Inside Philanthropy | Open Philanthropy Just Impact Sarah Barton Nicole Shanahan | Florida Rights Restoration Coalition Voice of the Experienced | Third-party coverage of donor strategy | Criminal justice reform | The article is about the spinout of Open Philanthropy's criminal justice reform grantmaking as Just Impact, a separate organization. In addition to the $50 million committed by Open Philanthropy that https://www.openphilanthropy.org/blog/our-criminal-justice-reform-program-now-independent-organization-just-impact documents, the article mentions $39 million from five other donors including Sarah Barton and Nicole Shanahan. Chloe Cockburn, who will head Just Impact is quoted, and two grantees, Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and Voice of the Experienced, are highlighted. Cockburn says that there are several criminal justice reform organizations whose budgets are orders of magnitude lower than what they are capable of spending, and by funding them, Open Philanthropy was able to unleash their potential (and Just Impact will hopefully continue doing so). |
