Episode notes

One common misconception about open fill is the idea that there is unlimited funding available. In reality, even though we have tens of millions of dollars, it is not enough to address the entire problem. We have to make trade-offs and decline funding for some projects that could benefit animals.

We interviewed Amanda Hungerford, Farm Animal Welfare Program Officer at Open Philanthropy. Open Philanthropy is one of the largest funders of farmed animal welfare, giving tens of millions of dollars each year.

We spoke to Amanda about common misconceptions about Open Philanthropy's grantmaking, challenges with corporate campaigns, strategies that Amanda is excited about, and much more.
