Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $2,893,125 to 80,000 Hours for general support. 80,000 Hours aims to solve skill bottlenecks for career paths in what it considers to be the world’s most pressing problems. It does this by providing online research, in-person advice, and support, with the goal of helping talented graduates aged 20-40 enter high-impact careers.
This grant follows Open Philanthropy's February 2019 support and falls under its work aimed at growing and empowering the EA community. While Open Philanthropy sees the basic pros and cons of this support similarly to what it's presented in past writeups on the matter, its ultimate grant figure was set by the aggregated judgments of the committee for effective altruism support, described in more detail here.
