Thanks for your comment James. I would define a TFO as any organisation whose explicit goal is to help people increase the impact they have through their careers. So yes, both meta EA groups and coaching and training organisations are included. I’ve now clarified this in the post too. 

While I agree the theories of change between different interventions and organisations likely differ substantially, I think a set of standardised outcome-related indicators is still both relevant and necessary. Just as different organisation's interventions in global health differ significantly, but their effects still can be estimated in comparable units like QALYs.

With that said, some organisations (e.g., national EA groups) will have additional outcome indicators that aren’t directly tied to talent pipelines or career transitions, just as your M&E framework illustrates. 

Note that administrative and operational costs for the Employer of Record and Fiscal Sponsorship services we provide are included, but that certain events financed by EA Infrastructure Fund (e.g. a retreat for Nordics community builders and a conference for participants in the Swedish EA community) are excluded in the budget. 

Hi Joey! Our total budget for the year is $355k, so the mentioned funding gap constitutes 18% of the total budget. A rough breakdown of the expected costs:

• Staff: 60%
• Office & co-working space: 15%
• Projects and community events: 10%
• Operational and administrative costs: 12.5%
• Other costs: 2.5%
