EA Grants Database - a new website

By Brian Foerster @ 2026-02-08T01:21 (+104)

The EA Grants Database is a new site that neatly aggregates grant data from major EA funders who publish individual or total grant information. It is intended to be easy to maintain long term, entirely piggybacking off of existing data that is likely to be maintained. The website data is updated by a script that can be run in seconds, and I anticipate doing this for the foreseeable future. 

In creating the website, I tried to make things as clear and straightforward as possible. If your user experience is in any way impaired, I would appreciate hearing from you. I would also appreciate feedback on what features would actually be useful to people, although I am committed to avoiding bloat.

In a funding landscape that seems poised to grow, I hope this site can serve as a resource to help grantmakers, grantees, and other interested parties make decisions while also providing perspective on what has come before.

My post on matching credits and this website are both outgrowths of my thinking on how we might best financially coordinate as EA grows and becomes more difficult to understand.^[1] Relatedly, I am also interested in the sort of mechanisms that might allow donors to express patience and satisfy their CEV while still taking advantage of the returns to scale that funds and large grantmakers provide.^[2] If this sounds interesting to you, I am attending EAG SF, and I would love to meet.

   This website was also inspired by this post.

   I am aware that it is already possible to invest and make donation decisions for as long as you live. I believe there are coordination benefits from being able to legibly commit resources, even if their usage is governed by a set of rules that makes them unlikely to be used in the present or near future. Death and severe mental decline are also limiting factors without advanced coordination.

So cool! Comprehensive EA grants data is like the most central possible example of what I'm interested in, I don't want to promise anything but potentially interested in contributing if there's a need. I might just play around with the code and see if there's anything potentially valuable to add

Also: genuinely unsure this is worth the time/effort to fix but I'd flag that the smallest grants all look like artifacts of some sort of parsing error rather than actual grants

The issue should now be fixed, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks for the interest in contributing! Right now, I can’t think of many features that would be both clearly useful and easily maintained, so I would welcome any thoughts you have there.

This is really cool! One possible issue: If I filter to Coefficient Giving and then sort by date, I see no grants since September:

 

But if I go to an example fund from CG, such as their Farm Animal Welfare Fund, I see more recent grants:

Thank you for the feedback, this should now be fixed.
