Effective Altruism Funds

Effective Altruism Funds is a donation platform that pools contributions from individual donors into expert-managed charitable funds, then distributes grants to people, projects, non-profits and institutions working on cost-effective, high-impact opportunities. The platform aims to simplify access to funding for emerging projects by providing a single application point, while helping donors direct money toward areas considered under-invested and where progress can be made.

Donors can choose from four funds: the Animal Welfare Fund, Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund, Global Health and Development Fund, and Transformative AI Fund. Fund managers apply a structured grantmaking approach considering expected value, marginal impact, counterfactual impact, track record, information value, and direct and indirect effects. A public grants database documents past awards, and applicants can submit funding requests for grants ranging from $1,000 to $500,000. Donations can be made through every.org or Giving What We Can, with guidance on which channel to use based on donor location.

The platform serves both individual donors seeking to pool contributions and grant applicants including individuals, projects, non-profits and institutions. No pricing, subscription, or trial information is stated on the pages provided.
