Hi @Lizka, Bruno from doebem here.

I understand this is very last-minute, but I'm trying to add doebem as a potential candidate but can't seem to do so since it's not in this list. Is there any way to do so before the deadline ends today?

Thank you immensely for your assistance!

Marginal funding estimates for doebem, a nonprofit that does Local Priority Research (LPR) and Charity Evaluation in Brazil. We've recently published this post on EA Forum and will soon publish our local cause priority research.

Hi everyone!

doebem was founded in 2017 and managed entirely by volunteers until 2022, when a new board led an effort to professionalize the organization to unlock doebem’s full potential. We are just getting started as an organization with a full-time team!

We are raising US$200k to cover our costs for c. 18 months, which would support a team of 5FTE: 

• 1 Director or Research + 2 Researchers: c. US$100k
• 1 Institutional Manager: c US$40k
• 1 Marketing Analyst: c. US$35k

Other costs we are expecting to incur are:

• Travel to do in-place evaluation of organizations: c. US$10k
• Travel to participate in International Forums (such as EA London): c. US$10k
• Website maintenance and SEO: c. US$5k

We are finalizing our cause priority research, to be shared in this forum before the end of 2023. Our commitment is to evaluate at least 12 organizations and recommend the most effective per cause. We will also share our methodology for analyzing organizations here in the near future. 

Our next step is to map and evaluate the most promising organizations within each prioritized cause to be soon revealed. We are hoping to find effective interventions considering criteria such as cost-effectiveness, room for more funding, institutional capacity and transparency, among others.

You can donate to our Effective Fund (Fundo Eficaz) through our website checkout. We are happy to answer any questions through here. 

Big thanks to our EA Global Community for considering supporting us 🌻

Hey @Rafael Mousinho, 

Awesome to hear of your motivation to grow our community in the Amazon region! There's a big group up and running for EA Brazil on Slack and WhatsApp. Hit me up at [email protected] and I'll be happy to assist you in connecting with existing members all over the country.

Hey @Joel Tan (CEARCH), thank you for your comment. Sorry we didn't have the time to meet in person at EAG Boston - it would have been a pleasure!

We would be delighted to discuss charity evaluation in Brazil at greater length. We have a great interest in this cause/area as well and would love to present you our work and hear your insights and thoughts, besides understanding potential opportunities for collaboration.

I'll reach you over email so we can schedule a call and keep the talk going!

Regards,
Bruno

Hey @Calum! Likewise, it was a pleasure to meet you at EAG too! It goes without saying - although it has been said - that GiveWell is a major reference to what we do here in Brazil. Thank you for your work and for commenting. We're just getting started and have a long road ahead. We'll keep in touch! 😄
