Thanks, you're right - updated.

Thanks Andreas! I've edited the post to include an additional analysis using this info.

(commenting in a personal capacity, but note that I do work at Malaria Consortium)

Thanks for sharing Michelle! It's great to see more about what MC do outside SMC being discussed in an EA space.

SMC is a fantastic, highly cost effective and well evidenced intervention. It's fab that it gets so much GiveWell and EA support. 

But I do think it's plausible that unrestricted funding is higher expected impact than SMC funding. I'm really uncertain about this.  However, for donors looking for higher risk, "hits based" opportunities within global health and malaria, I think it's a great option - and also a relatively neglected and funding constrained option. 

Some potential high impact work I would highlight, that unrestricted funding could support:

• Trying to find and scale the "next SMC"
• Piloting and analysing opportunities to layer additional interventions with existing SMC delivery infrastructure, such as oral rehydration for diarrhea (in partnership with AIM incubated Clear Solutions), therefore "multiplying" the cost-effectiveness of SMC
• Working towards malaria elimination, rather than just control - thereby removing the need for future work (e.g., accelerating / supporting gene drive rollout)
• Runway to continue vital, high impact programs in the event of funding disruption - like that caused by US funding disruption this year
• Catalytic funding to explore new opportunities, like the potential cost-effectiveness of expanding SMC delivery to other geographies (e.g where PMI / USAID have historically supported SMC)

Happy to discuss with anyone interested  - I'll also be at EA Connect next month if anyone wants to chat malaria or about MC in an informal capacity!

£350+giftaid, so £437.50 total (~$580)

I should definitely have clarified that this is only pulling from OpenPhil's grants, so is missing SFF and EA Funds grants to LTXR.

The categorisations are not mine, they are how OpenPhil categorises their grants. I have also included some that I originally included in the "Other" category. (In the main graphs I only have navigating AI, bio / pandemics, and science supporting bio as LTXR from OpenPhil)

Thanks Oli. 

Is there anyone in the US that is willing to do a donation swap with me? I can make a donation to a UK-registered charity (or anything via GWWC) that you were planning to and you can make one to Respira on my behalf :)

It looks like Donation Swap has retired, sadly.

Edit: Jason and I have succesfully arranged a donation swap 

In absolute terms, though, the drop is bigger from GH. Also OpenPhil are directing far less to GW.

I agree that its not worthwhile thinking much about the 2025 data

Yes there are more detailed breakdowns. I've done some super quick analysis in a new tab in the sheet - you can take a look but broadly it looks like there is more money for AI, and about the same for other areas compared to the last ~5 years. I.e. AI funding is additional / at the expense of non-LTXR cause areas.
