The EA Forum is hosting a donation election, where we will distribute a pot of donations based on what Forum users vote for. Will the pot cross $40,000?
Relevant info:
You can learn more about the Donation Election:
In the Giving Portal on the forum (best concise intro)
In this announcement post
In this pre-announcement post (similar info to the post above)
...I will add more links here if more relevant info comes out
You can donate to the donation election fund here
We are planning to match $5k of donations, which will be added to the pot (i.e. it counts for this market). I'll update here when we've done this matching
At time of writing we haven't decided on the exact voting system yet
Other markets on this:
Resolution criteria:
The market will be decided based on the number in the Giving Portal (screenshot below). This is the same as the number in the fundraiser on Giving What We Can (which is where you actually donate), but if these end up different for some reason (e.g. the match doesn't technically go through Giving What We Can), I will use the number on the forum
This will resolve when the fundraiser closes (before the money is actually distributed), this is expected to be 1 day before the close date on this market
Donating to the fund to try and rig this market is strongly encouraged
1,000
3.00@WillHoward is the $5k you are matching already included in the number that's displayed in the giving portal right now?
