Congratulations, Jack! I'm looking forward to watching it!

Thanks Jacob! Give this a go: https://anchor.fm/s/11209b150/podcast/rss 

Thanks so much Paula!

Thanks so much! Spotify linked above and we're looking into broader distribution!

We've funded it from our general budget! Let's catch up at EAG London (if you're going) and we can chat more!

Thanks for writing this Lincoln! I see love as the foundation for all my interest in altruism, and have been thinking more about how to incorporate more of the messaging of love in my communications about effective altruism (as well as living up to my value of love as much as I can in other domains).

I've been really enjoying All About Love by bell hooks - who talks similarly about love as the key for social progress. I hope to write more on my reflections about love and effective altruism soon.

You shouldn’t have had to go through any of this. I deeply value you sharing your experience and reflections, recognising the personal toll it can take, on a number of fronts. 

I am angry at CEA, their response (and lack of) feels unbelievably bad. 

As a woman who leads an EA organisation, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings that I cannot properly express at the moment. 

You deserved better, women in this movement deserve better.

This is a great call out! It was featured in a longer report that we shared directly with other effective giving orgs, but wasn't called out explicitly as a single post. 

I'll share this again with the effective giving orgs :)

Thanks for writing this! 

 At EA Australia (Australia's effective giving fundraising and community building org), our recent impact evaluation found that in 2025 for every $1 spent on operations, we counterfactually moved $9 to effective charities ($5 was a conservative estimate). 

You can read more about this in our blog post, which links the google sheet calculations and detailed reasoning for our model. It's been based on GWWC's impact evaluation toolkit.

At the moment, my belief is that we are quite constrained by funding, and would be growing much faster with more resourcing over the next few years. Happy to talk with larger potential donors on this if anyone is interested and will be publishing a summary of our 2026 strategy on our website soon.

One of the reasons to have community members contribute to funding our operations, is the stability that having many smaller donors over few major funders. This makes us much less vulnerable to a major donor shifting direction in future.

We would love to be able to support more of our operations and growth from smaller donors and a variety of sources, and additional funding now would be spent on increasing our staff capacity (currently 4.5 FTE across effective giving and community building) to enable further growth!

In case I've convinced anyone, our donate form is here.

Rowan, this is enormously sweet! I just logged in to the EA Forum for the first time in ages and I'm really honoured! Being public about my health has felt like a tough decision but knowing that it's resonated with you and others makes it feel really worth it!
