fair-fish international association 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 2027. 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 Philanthropy453,841.0022017-11Animal welfare/factory farming/fishhttps://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/fair-fish-international-fish-welfare-standardsLewis Bollard Donation process: The grant page says: "Our Program Officer for Farm Animal Welfare, Lewis Bollard, began looking into funding opportunities related to farmed fish welfare last year, due to the number of animals affected by fish farming." The grant page links to a grant proposal https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/Fair_Fish_International_Association/Fair_Fish_International_Friends_of_the_Sea_Proposal_2017.pdf submitted July 31, 2017.

Intended use of funds (category): Direct project expenses

Intended use of funds: The grant page says: "FFI’s research team, FishEthoBase, will work jointly with fish welfare certifier Friend of the Sea (FOS) to assess fish welfare at approximately 50% of all FOS-certified farms. Findings from these assessments will then be used to create farm-specific improvement recommendations and to develop animal welfare criteria for possible inclusion in FOS standards. Additionally, FFI plans to share its findings through formal presentations at academic and industry conferences. [...] FFI intends to use these funds for expenses related to onsite consulting, standards development, project management, travel, conference participation and presentations, and media and public relations." The linked grant proposal https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/Fair_Fish_International_Association/Fair_Fish_International_Friends_of_the_Sea_Proposal_2017.pdf has more.

Donor reason for selecting the donee: The grant page says: "Our Program Officer for Farm Animal Welfare, Lewis Bollard, began looking into funding opportunities related to farmed fish welfare last year, due to the number of animals affected by fish farming."

Donor reason for donating that amount (rather than a bigger or smaller amount): The grant proposal https://www.openphilanthropy.org/files/Grants/Fair_Fish_International_Association/Fair_Fish_International_Friends_of_the_Sea_Proposal_2017.pdf includes a budget estimate; the actual grant amount is close to the total per the budget estimate. The donation was given as 375,000.00 EUR (conversion done via donor calculation).

Donor retrospective of the donation: The followup grant https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/fair-fish-international-association-general-support suggests continued satisfaction with the grantee.

Other notes: Intended funding timeframe in months: 24; announced: 2017-12-08.
