Rethink Priorities 2020 impact and 2021 strategy

Abstract

In 2020, Rethink Priorities (RP), an EA research organization, made progress towards improving grant-making decisions and organizational impact. They expanded their operations team, hired researchers in multiple domains (animal welfare, movement building, longtermism), and established their own board of directors and legal independence. RP evaluates its impact using various metrics, including surveys, interviews, and informal tracking. They found positive feedback for their outreach efforts and influence on farmed animal donors and organizations. Moving forward, RP plans to expand its work in animal welfare, relaunch its longtermism focus, and continue movement building. To enhance their research capacity and address promising opportunities, they seek to hire additional researchers and launch an intern program. – AI-generated abstract.
