May 2021: EA Infrastructure Fund grants
Effective Altruism Funds, 2021
Abstract
This report provides details and considerations regarding grants awarded by the Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund (EAIF) during their Q1 2021 grant cycle. Such grants support causes consistent with a notion of ’longtermism’ (a view that emphasizes the welfare and well-being of all beings across vast stretches of time), as well as more immediate practical concerns. Grant descriptions encompass support for projects concerning: university groups encouraging student pursuit of impactful careers; efforts to cultivate altruism in highly talented teenagers; endeavors to translate and disseminate effective altruism-related literature in the Czech Republic; the creation and maintenance of EA community resources such as informational YouTube channels; funding to explore effective institutional decision-making; explorations into improving discussions among those engaged in EA; and initiatives to encourage broader engagement with EA ideals. – AI-generated abstract.
