The EA meta fund is now the EA infrastructure fund

Abstract

The Effective Altruism Meta Fund has been renamed to the Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund, following a trademark infringement claim. This change has been instigated through a collaborative decision-making process involving the fund committee, other grantmakers, and the Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA). The name change will not impact the Fund’s activities or scope. The EA Infrastructure Fund, part of the CEA’s EA Funds project, is currently managed by six individuals including Luke Ding as chair and Nick Beckstead as advisor. The Fund assists projects grounded in effective altruism by recommending grants that enhance their access to talent, capital, and knowledge. Other strategic options for EA Funds are also being explored, such as engaging in more proactive grantmaking. EA Funds may become separate from CEA’s core management structure within 6-12 months while remaining accountable to the CEA’s board – AI-generated abstract.
