EA Funds' Grantmaking Pause runs 1 June - 31 July, Apply by 9 May

Thanks for the heads up! I would add the dates to the title, as my first impression was that this is an immediate pause or smth.

If we apply for funding after June 1st, how likely is it that we can get a response from the EA infrastructure fund by mid-August if we state that need in the application?

In the post "Funds and CEA are merging", it was said:

EA Funds will be accepting and evaluating grant applications throughout the merger and spinout process, so you can continue to submit applications. […] Grant requests submitted to EA Funds after 9 May will not be processed until at least 1 August.”

Because it says that the applications will be evaluated continuously, I had interpreted 'processing' to mean the due diligence and payout, not evaluation. But in this post, I get the impression that the pause is more comprehensive because of 

We likely won’t evaluate all applications by 1 June, but we will prioritize time-sensitive and promising applications and aim to complete evaluations for those before the pause

Hi there,

I received a recommendation for a grant on 31 May, and submitted my due diligence on 2 June. As this was submitted before 10 June, does this mean my grant would be finalised and disbursed as usual? I.e. during the above stated pause period, and not after?
