I love number 4! :D

Yes. Another question is the geographical direction of the (potential) giving. I suppose we should expect a strong focus on US-centric actions, which might very suboptimal. Surely relying on funds will help coordinate intelligently.

Therefore, one approach to preparing for the influx of many new donors could be to increase the EA Funds teams to facilitate grantmaking (afaik, they're quite overworked anyway).

Thanks for the kind words!

To answer your question:
- One person said it to me, and another wrote it in the feedback form: it can be hard to understand how an organization can amend their activities to be more effective, concretely. Another person found the event "too theorical".
- I personally think examples contribute a lot to making the ideas clearer and more convincing.

I'm really thrilled that you seized this opportunity to speak to many people (and become one of the relatively rare speakers to discuss a moral atrocity on that stage).
With the Dwarkesh Patel podcast episode you recently did, this is very, very encouraging. Thank you so much.

Thanks a lot for maintaining this space! It's been great coworking with you and others in GatherTown, I love how it creates a cozy, friendly atmosphere akin to that of a physical office.
Strong reco for others to come (especially remote workers) and experiment with this solution.

Thank you for the write-up. It's been quite impressive and very positive to see the development of Mieux Donner, kudos to the cofounders, the early hires, as well as Ambitious Impact who gave the push to most of the recently-launched effective giving initiatives!!

Great! I'm very interested in how this compares with the most beloved EA format: the "fellowship". If this works well, it will present a number of advantages: more dense; less need for planning; basically no dropping out.

Funny to notice that with my usual "funnel-based" thinking I'd have listed these workshops in the reverse order.

Hey @JoA🔸 , I was considering having a translation (maybe adapted to our cultural context) on EA France's website, if @Jeff Kaufman 🔸 is giving us his blessing :)

Hi, thanks for the post!

After discussing with other group organizers, 2 interesting ideas came up and I wanted to share them for CEA's consideration - I hope I'm not repeating something written elsewhere:

  • Referral codes that group organizers might give some specific members to signal that they're recommending these applicants.
  • Some kind of referral-rewarding program that encourages people to invite new people to apply to EAG(x) events.

(both options might involve something called "referral codes" but they are very distinct things).

This sounds like a nice, helpful tool that I intuitively think will be valuable to ensure people think clearly about how to make efforts in a concrete directions. I really like the 3 "paths" for this.

I don't understand this, though: how do you suggest tracking people's answers to this tool? How is the data consolidated?
