The Open Philanthropy Project awarded a grant of $5 million to the Centre for Effective Altruism USA (CEA) to create and seed a new discretionary fund that will be administered by Carl Shulman (Carl), who is a Research Associate at the Future of Humanity Institute and an advisor to the Open Philanthropy Project. Based on its experience with Carl as an advisor, Open Philanthropy believes he has the potential to source outstanding grants that Open Philanthropy could not, and is supporting this fund in order to experiment with this.
This grant falls within Open Philanthropy's interest in supporting effective altruism.
