September 2017: No Lean Season
Effective Altruism Funds, 2017
Abstract
A grant of $150,000 was given to Evidence Action’s No Lean Season program in September 2017 to prevent a funding gap. The grant was recommended because the program was experiencing higher-than-expected demand and needed additional funding to continue operating without interruption. It also aimed to increase the statistical power of the ongoing randomized controlled trial by reaching more people and increasing the likelihood of measuring a statistically meaningful result. The flexible pool of funds in the EA Fund made this grant possible. – AI-generated abstract.
