Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $3,457,284 to 80,000 Hours for general support. 80,000 Hours aims to solve skill bottlenecks for career paths in what it considers to be the world’s most pressing problems. It does this by providing online research, in-person advice, and support, with the goal of helping talented graduates aged 20-40 enter high-impact careers. This grant follows our February 2019 support and falls within our focus area of growing and empowering the community of people focused on global catastrophic risk reduction. While we see the basic pros and cons of this support similarly to what we’ve presented in past writeups on the matter, our ultimate grant figure was set by the aggregated judgments of our committee for effective altruism support, described in more detail here.
