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.

| A Critical Review of Open Philanthropy’s Bet On Criminal Justice Reform (GW, IR) | 2022-06-16 | Nuno Sempere | Effective Altruism Forum | Open Philanthropy Just Impact | Against Malaria Foundation GiveDirectly | Third-party coverage of donor strategy | Criminal justice reform | The blog post reviews Open Philanthropy's spending on, and eventual exit from, criminal justice reform. It is critical of the fact that Open Philanthropy took two years between its blog post https://www.openphilanthropy.org/blog/givewells-top-charities-are-increasingly-hard-beat (that identified GiveWell's top charities as hard to beat in the context of near-term, human-centric work) and its late 2021 announcement https://www.openphilanthropy.org/blog/our-criminal-justice-reform-program-now-independent-organization-just-impact of spinning out the criminal justice reform grantmaking to Just Impact and giving it an exit grant of $50 million. The post is further critical of the fact the Open Philanthropy effectively gave a two-fold exit grant of $100 million after its mid-2019 blog post: $50 million in grants between mid-2019 and late 2021, and a $50 million exit grant to Just Impact. The post and comments include extensive discussion of cost-effectiveness, worldviews, and ways to make better decisions. | |
| Our Criminal Justice Reform Program Is Now an Independent Organization: Just Impact | 2021-11-16 | Zachary Robinson Alexander Berger | Open Philanthropy | Open Philanthropy Just Impact | Launch | Criminal justice reform | In the blog post, Open Philanthropy announces that its criminal justice reform grantmaking is being split out into its own organization called Just Impact, led by Chloe Cockburn and Jesse Rothman, who have been leading Open Philanthropy's criminal justice reform program. Open Philanthropy is providing seed funding of $50 million spread over 3.5 years. Open Philanthropy connects this change with its previous post https://www.openphilanthropy.org/blog/givewells-top-charities-are-increasingly-hard-beat that suggested that it was finding that a lot of its near-termist, human-centric grantmaking was failing to beat GiveWell top charities in cost-effectiveness analyses. Open Philanthropy is now making changes to reduce such grantmaking, and spinning off criminal justice reform grantmaking to its own organization is a step toward that. Other advantages of the spinout are: ability to attract other donors focused on criminal justice reform, independence better positioning the team to implements its vision and strategy, and benefits as an experiment in spinning out programs, possibly toward a long-term vision of Open Philanthropy as focused on cause selection and incubation. | ||
| 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). |
