But what has EA done? A call for accurate soundbites.

Have played a substantial role in founding all three of the top leading AI capability companies (cry emoji).

There are 6 good examples on the front page of effectivealtruism.org and there are more on its page about impact (which was updated last on January 7, 2021, so maybe it could benefit from an update)

EA motivated donations - $142 Million to the Against Malaria Foundation^[1]

GiveWell estimates it costs about $5 to deliver a bednet.
^[2]
That's about 30 million bednets.

GiveWell estimates that for every 1000 nets delivered about 1 counterfactual life is saved.^[3]

So about 30,000 lives have been saved, by EA donations^[4]. 

Thanks to @Holly Morgan for help here.

   These bed net deliveries will have been partly supported by other organisations, eg the Global Fund, which often covers shipping costs - https://www.givewell.org/charities/amf#Does_it_work

• "The estimated the size of the movement to fight factory farming in 2020 was ~$200 million USD" (https://farmedanimalfunders.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/External-FAF-State-of-the-Movement-Report-2021.pdf)
• Open Phil granted ~$25 million to farm animal welfare in 2020 (https://www.openphilanthropy.org/grants/?q=&focus-area%5B%5D=farm-animal-welfare&yr%5B%5D=2020)
• "A decade ago, most of the world’s largest food corporations lacked even a basic farm animal welfare policy. Today, they almost all have one. That’s thanks to advocates, who won about 3,000 new corporate policies in the last ten years" with 88% following through. "[A]lmost every new farm animal welfare law and corporate policy globally has focused on chickens" e.g. "advocates secured cage-free pledges from almost all of the largest American and European retailers, fast food chains, and foodservice companies." (https://us14.campaign-archive.com/?u=66df320da8400b581cbc1b539&id=06c9567d81)

(Not very soundbite-y I know, but I think it conveys that when it comes to farm animal welfare, change is happening and a decent chunk of that is "EA.")

From abier:

in large part due to the advocacy of New York kidney donors in the EA community, this bill passed the NY state assembly, which will reimburse kidney donors and may save around 100 lives a year

From Ula Zarosa:

I am super impressed with the people working at the charities we helped to start via CE's Incubation Program, to name a few: 
1) Fortify Health, who got an $8.2 million GiveWell grant for scaling their work. I highly recommend following their social media, a lot of cool updates on their progress: https://www.facebook.com/fortifyhealthfoundation

2) Fish Welfare Initiative, who already improved the lives of over 2 million animals. They have a great newsletter and updates on their blog: https://www.fishwelfareinitiative.org/blog

3) Lead Exposure Elimination Project, mentioned in almost every interview Will MacAskill did recently :) they have really great map on their website that shows where they work and what stage of work they are at: https://leadelimination.org/projects/
