Thank you for sharing your experience here. I’m really sorry to hear about these gender dynamics and how it’s affected you personally, your motivation and your career.

Do you have any suggested actions you’d like to see to help prevent this being repeated?

(I imagine organisations having policies about appropriate professional conduct and actively working on DEI would help to some extent with these issues. But I’m not sure what specifically, how much it’d help, and if there’s other things that you implied that I missed.)

Also, on a separate note, my understanding is that the community health team would like to hear about general experiences like this (even if you don’t want to “report” anything/anyone specifically and want any action taken) as they often provide advice to organisations/groups/community spaces/write forum posts about ways of improving the health of the community more generally and hearing things like this would help to put good policies in place and spread ideas around appropriate conduct etc.

Thanks Lucas!

CATF and TerraPraxis are also available on the donation platform (but not "top rated" based on the recommendations of our trusted evaluators):

Thanks for writing this. I’ve not commented on the previous two posts because I didn’t have much to add. However I want you to know that I found all three to be quite well laid out and concise for the amount of information and clarity packed into them. This one in particular I think I’ll share to when disambiguation is necessary (as it often is).

Thanks for sharing! I've had many conversations about this and will definitely be sharing this with people in the future 😀 

I empathise with this a lot, and know many others who do too.

Thanks for sharing where you're at and also for all the effort you've put in and for not quitting <3

I've struggled to find the right words in all this. I'm deeply upset and disappointed – not just at Bostrom (then and now) but also at the way many people have responded.

Thank you very much for writing this, I deeply appreciate it and know it mustn't have been easy.

Yep - Jeff's pretty much captured it all here.

GWWC's mission is to "make giving effectively and significantly a cultural norm" and the pledge plays a big part in that, as does advocating for and educating about effective giving.

Supporting donors/members in giving effectively has always been a part of GWWC but what that's looked like has changed over the years (from very detailed charity evaluation through to just linking off to GiveWell/ACE/EA Funds when there was no one working full time on GWWC).

Thanks very much for writing this - it really made my day to read it 😀

Hope you have a wonderful rest of 2022!

Please see our update regarding this. The important section is:

Both of the legal entities involved with GWWC (Effective Ventures Foundation and Centre for Effective Altruism USA) are financially solvent. These entities have funding sources outside of the FTX Foundation and other FTX-related entities/individuals. The GWWC related entities would be solvent even without the funds received from the FTX-related entities. Accordingly, our plan is to continue to accept and regrant donations.
