New Incentives has a new, high-impact funding opportunity. We are looking to expand our pilot, which distributes ORS through routine immunization visits in northern Nigeria.

We think there is an opportunity to increase timely access to ORS by providing it through these same touchpoints, leveraging our platform to distribute ORS to infants at a very low cost. Because the delivery platform already exists, the marginal cost of distributing ORS during routine immunization visits is approximately $1 per child. The fixed costs—field officers, clinic relationships, monitoring infrastructure, and data systems—are already covered by the immunization program.

We published a Q&A with Mark Davis of the Centre for Pesticide Suicide Prevention, "How Banning Toxic Pesticides Could Prevent Over 100,000 Deaths Per Year," examining the case for regulatory action on toxic pesticides.

We published a Q&A with Clare Donaldson, the Lead Exposure Elimination Project's Executive Director, "How LEEP is Eliminating Lead Paint, One Country at a Time."

We also published a shallow investigation into antimicrobial resistance, estimating its health burden, explaining barriers to addressing it, and identifying potential funding opportunities.

We continued our annual tradition of writing about what our Global Health & Wellbeing grantees accomplished in 2025.

Our RFP for Humane Fish Slaughter Research/Prototypes is open through July 1, 2026. Funding is available for projects that materially improve the welfare of fish at capture and slaughter.

We also have a variety of other funding opportunities available, including fellowships, scholarships, support for group organizers, and funding for career development and transition.

In Wild Animal Initiative's latest call for proposals, we solicited ideas for projects that explore how variation in environmental conditions interacts with wild animal welfare, how welfare variation correlates with mortality risk, and other priority research topics. We received 401 expressions of interest, one of the highest levels of interest we’ve seen in funding for wild animal welfare research since we began our Grants Program in 2021.

Following intensive internal review, we invited 53 applicants to submit full grant proposals. Our Science Team and external review panel are currently reviewing these to select the finalists. Projects are evaluated according to selection criteria that include cost-effectiveness, potential impact, and neglectedness of the topic. We’re excited to share details about the newly funded projects with you this summer!

Update from the Cooperative AI Foundation: Summer School 2026

The Cooperative AI Summer School 2026 ‘Expression of interest’ applications are now open! Taking place in Canada (location TBA) from 3-7 August. Watch last year’s recap video for a flavour on what to expect.

This is an advanced programme for early-career professionals already working in or studying cooperative AI. Over five intensive days, participants will attend talks by leading researchers and work on collaborative projects tackling real cooperative AI challenges. Financial assistance is available, and we especially encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply.

Find out more and apply by 22 March 2026 (11.59pm AoE) on the Cooperative AI website. 

Fulfilling their commitment to phase out caged-eggs, made at the start of our cage-free campaign in 2016, Lidl Poland (the second-largest retailer) has announced that they are now 100% cage-free, affecting millions of hens annually. 

To hold retailers accountable to their pledge to stop selling caged eggs by 01/01/26, our French team recently published an investigation into supermarkets that still sell caged eggs, which garnered significant national media attention. We estimate that between TV, radio and online coverage the news of the investigation will have reached several million people. The pressure from this prompted multiple responses from the retailers to the media about their cage-free commitments.

Our UK team, formerly known as Open Cages, has rebranded as Anima, reflecting their role as part of Anima International which is active across six countries and focused on the highest-impact interventions for animals. Our UK work remains centred on eliminating fast-growing chicken breeds, which currently account for ~90% of the over one billion chickens raised in the UK annually.

The animal advocacy movement in Central Asia is small but developing. Together with our partners in Kazakhstan, we announced the second annual conference on animal advocacy in Central Asia (CAAAF — Central Asian Animal Advocacy Forum), taking place on 04/04/2026.

Sharing this in case it's useful for any EA orgs looking for access to affordable professional help: check out my org Rendered which connects nonprofits with vetted professionals at roughly 25% of what a commercial consultant charges. 

The idea is a lot of organisations doing important work end up going without professional support on strategy, tech, design, or comms because they can't justify the cost. We're trying to fix that.

It's not volunteering - both sides pay and get paid, which we think matters for accountability. But it's also not a consultancy.

We're early stage and actively looking for organisations to work with across EA. If you have a project that's been sitting on the back burner because it felt too expensive to tackle, it might be worth a look.

Updates from the Good Food Institute:

Giving Green Biodiversity recommendation

Giving Green, recently released its first nonprofit recommendations focused on biodiversity protection. GFI was selected as one of two Top Nonprofit Organisations where additional funding could have an outsized impact on biodiversity loss.

Animal agriculture is a leading driver of biodiversity loss on land, largely through habitat conversion for livestock and feed crops. Analyses suggest that transitioning toward alternative proteins could reduce the land required for food production by up to 75%, potentially freeing land for ecosystem restoration and rewilding.

Putting alternative proteins on the farming agenda

In January, GFI’s Nutrition Lead Amy Williams spoke at the Oxford Real Farming Conference alongside Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall about the role plant-based meat could play in a healthier and more sustainable food system. The panel helped bring alternative proteins into conversations with farming and environmental stakeholders, including addressing common misconceptions and exploring areas of alignment.

Being part of these wider food system conversations is essential to building the credibility and partnerships we need to succeed in creating a sustainable, secure, and just food system. You can watch Amy in action here or read an overview on our blog.

New economic analysis opens doors with senior policymakers

Since Systemiq launched its GFI-funded economic analysis of alternative proteins in Europe last month, GFI Europe has secured 11 one-to-one meetings with senior UK and EU policymakers to discuss the potential of alternative proteins and how they can be positioned as a policy priority. 

Having credible, EU-wide data on the issues policymakers care about most, including jobs, economic growth and competitiveness, was vital to securing these meetings. By equipping policymakers with the evidence they need to make decisions, GFI is helping ensure alternative proteins are part of key policy discussions that will shape long-term systems change.

Mycelium Olympics
Thanks to GFI’s Research Grants Program, scientists have tested which species of mushrooms are best suited for growing food, by testing growth speed, protein quality, yield and flavour. You can see the results of what we’re calling the ‘Mycelium Olympics’ in our recent LinkedIn post, it’s a fun one!  This early-stage research is essential for understanding which species are most likely to actually mimic the taste and texture of conventional meat, and by funding this work, GFI is helping build that knowledge base for the whole field. 

We’re hiring:

• People & Culture Lead – Singapore (GFI APAC) – Apply by 5 April 2026 
• SciTech Manager – Singapore (GFI APAC) – Apply by 15 March 2026
• Deputy General Counsel – Remote (US) – Apply by 19 March 2026

Fish Welfare Initiative Updates

We recently published two new datasets:

• Our farm program dataset, comprising of 10K+ (anonymized) data points on fish farms in Andhra Pradesh, India collected from 2021 to 2026.
• Our continuous water quality dataset, comprising of near continuous water quality data taken from farms in Andhra Pradesh, India over 2 months.

We also recently published our 2025 farm program M&E report.

GiveWell Updates

• In our 2025 grantmaking year, GiveWell approved $418 million across 131 grants to 69 organizations—the most grants we’ve made in a year so far.
  
  Through years of deliberate groundwork, we’ve been growing our research capacity and scope in order to direct substantially more funding to the most impactful opportunities we can find. Last year’s grantmaking reflects this growth, and we will be continuing an intensive effort this year to scale our ability to partner with donors to help people in need. 

• GiveWell recently launched two new RFIs to expand our funding in vaccination and iron fortification and supplementation programs. Submissions for both RFIs are due March 27.
  • Vaccination outreach RFI: Seeking targeted outreach or mobile vaccination programs that aim to increase uptake of routine vaccinations for children under 2 in the DRC, Nigeria, or Somalia.
  • Anemia control RFI: Seeking programs that reduce iron deficiency anemia through large-scale iron fortification, supplementation, or biofortification in Africa. 

• GiveWell aims to find and fund programs that will do the most good per dollar, and we regularly evaluate results to decide whether to continue our support. Sometimes, even if a program we fund is doing a lot of good, it may not have the impact per dollar we expected. 
  
  In our latest podcast episode, GiveWell CEO and co-founder Elie Hassenfeld and Senior Program Officer Erin Crossett discuss how we responded when early data on Evidence Action's Dispensers for Safe Water in Malawi and Uganda indicated the program wasn't reaching as many people as estimated.

• GiveWell is hiring a Salesforce Administrator to deliver exceptional technical support to our internal users and drive continuous improvements to the systems that power our life-saving work. 

Longview is hiring an AI Safety Content Specialist (contractor, remote, $40–75/hr)

We’re looking for someone to write the grant recommendations, memos, and explainers that help us move money to AI safety. You'll basically work to understand what we're funding and why, and write it up for donors. Some donors are just learning about AI risk, but many are extremely high context on AI safety and will notice if you get a technical detail wrong, so it's important to get someone who can write excellent, high-fidelity content. We want someone with strong AI safety knowledge who writes well and fast, including same-day turnarounds. 

It’s an hourly contract, initially for three months, 20+ hrs/week preferred, with potential to extend or convert to full-time. I think it’s a highly directly impactful role and a good learning opportunity for people with good prior knowledge of AI safety. Apply here by EOD Monday March 16.

Faunalytics Updates

New Research: Food Systems Advocacy In The Global South

Advocacy doesn’t happen in a vacuum, but many global strategies assume a “one-size-fits-all” approach. In our latest study, Faunalytics with The Good Growth Co. developed and tested a new contextual advocacy framework in India to help advocates navigate local political, cultural, and economic realities. 

We found that external factors, like religious norms, livelihoods, and government priorities, influenced campaign outcomes 40% of the time. This resource provides advocates and funders with actionable recommendations for conducting “context scans” and organizational readiness checks to ensure your next campaign is built for its specific environment.

 AI In Animal Advocacy

From data summarization to campaign scaling, AI is reshaping how we work. But as tech evolves, so do the risks. Faunalytics examines the "Promise, Peril, and Patience" of AI in the animal protection movement, offering a data-driven look at current trends, the influence of Effective Altruism on tech adoption, and where the movement should exercise caution.

Join The Faunalytics Board

Faunalytics is accepting applications to serve on our Board of Directors! Our volunteer board members have made a commitment to represent the work that we do while providing high-level governance and oversight to Faunalytics. We are looking for people with experience, skills, and/or resources who can contribute to our mission in unique and meaningful ways. If you care deeply about improving the lives of animals by empowering advocates with the data to help drive humane change, we hope you'll consider applying!

Analyzing Prop 12’s Impact On U.S. Trade

When the Supreme Court upheld California’s Proposition 12, the meat industry predicted a national market collapse. Two years later, the data is finally coming in. Faunalytics has analyzed the latest USDA figures to see how state-level welfare bans are actually reshaping American meat production and trade. From slaughter volumes to unnoticed export shifts, we’re digging into which industry claims held up, and which ones didn’t.

The Cooperative AI Foundation is kicking off a 'Fellows’ Spotlight' seminar series featuring the most exciting research from our Cooperative AI PhD Fellows. Make sure to register for our first seminar:

Title: Safe Pareto Improvements: Cooperative Commitments without Compromise
Thursday 26 March, 17:00 UTC
Speaker: Nathaniel Sauerberg (University of Texas at Austin)
About: Advanced AI systems may introduce many new ways to credibly commit to and enforce agreements in strategic interactions. However, because players may disagree on what constitutes a mutually beneficial outcome, Safe Pareto Improvements address this by adjusting payoffs without altering the structure of the game—ensuring that outcomes improve for all while avoiding coordination problems.
