The CEA Online Team is planning on hosting a Donation Election, where users will vote on how to distribute a Donation Election fund: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/x2KfyNe8oPR4dqGkf/ea-forum-plans-for-giving-season-2023
As mentioned in the announcement, the Online Team is considering matching donations to the fund, up to $5000.
If the Online Team confirms that it’s matching donations up to at least $5000 (this should be announced when the fund opens), will people contribute at least $5000 to the fund by the time voting in the election starts (in early December)?
Notes
- If the Online Team decides not to match (or decides to match less than $5000), the question will resolve “N/A.”
- If the Online Team does announce matching up to $5000 for this fund and users contribute $2500 (so there would be $5000 in the fund, total), the question will resolve negatively. I.e. the question is about how much will be in the fund, not counting the added funding from the match.
- If individual people on the Online Team donate to the fund, their donations will count like those of anyone else.
- I’ll resolve the question when voting starts.
