What is this?

This is an upcoming Alliance project. External funders have committed $100,000 to a pool that Alliance members and an expert panel will decide how to donate.

How will this work?

1,000 Alliance members and an expert panel will decide how to donate the $100,000. This will happen in a four-step process:

  1. Alliance members nominate nonprofits.
  2. Experts analyze how each nonprofit would use the $100,000.
  3. Alliance members use expert analyses to vote on nonprofits.
  4. Experts select the final recipient from members' top choices.

Why are we doing this?

We're learning how to effectively combine member values and expert analysis to donate money. This process could one day become a transparent giving service for large-scale donors. After the project, we'll work with Jan Maly of WU Vienna to publish our findings.

How do I participate?

Join the waitlist on this page. We'll reach out soon with an invitation to the Alliance. Once the Alliance reaches 1,000 members, this project will begin.
