Topics: Scientific Research, Open Philanthropy ProjectWe’re committed to sharing what we learn, with detail and honesty, as we give.
We envision a world in which philanthropists increasingly document and share their research, reasoning, results, and mistakes to help each other learn more quickly and serve others more effectively.
In this space, we often cross-post items from the blog of our partner, the Open Philanthropy Project, to give readers a fuller picture of the reasoning behind our work.
