Will 80,000 Hours receive a grant as a result of Project for Awesome 2023?

Question

Project for Awesome is a yearly livestream event hosted by John & Hank Green's Foundation for World Suck in which participants create short videos advocating for charities. Money raised during the second half of the livestream is granted to the charities that have achieved the most votes on the Project for Awesome website across all of their videos; in past years this has been about $20,000 each to winners.

Since 2015, members of the effective altruism community have coordinated to make videos for a shortlist of charities voted on in a Facebook group ahead of time to increase the chances that those charities recieve the grant.

Past winners as a result of EA coordination:

2022: The Against Malaria Foundation, The Humane League, The Good Food Institute.
