This page was reviewed but not written by members of the committee. 80,000 Hours staff also reviewed this page prior to publication.
Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $3,457,284 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 our February 2019 support and falls under our work aimed at growing and empowering the EA community. While we see the basic pros and cons of this support similarly to what we’ve presented in past writeups on the matter, our ultimate grant figure was set by the aggregated judgments of our committee for effective altruism support, described in more detail here.
