The Open Philanthropy Project is now an independent organization

Abstract

The Open Philanthropy Project, formerly an arm of the charity evaluator GiveWell, has become an independent organization. The article describes the transition and provides reasons for the separation. It also details the new legal structure of the Open Philanthropy Project as a limited liability company (LLC) and discusses the differences in its mission, operations, and funding compared to GiveWell. While the Open Philanthropy Project is now an independent entity, it will continue to share office space with GiveWell and some staff members will continue to work on both projects. Despite the change in legal structure, the Open Philanthropy Project will continue to largely operate like a non-profit. – AI-generated abstract
