Hello! I'm Toby. I'm Content Manager at CEA. I work with the Online Team to make sure the Forum is a great place to discuss doing the most good we can. You'll see me posting a lot, authoring the EA Newsletter and curating Forum Digests, making moderator comments and decisions, and more.
Before working at CEA, I studied Philosophy at the University of Warwick, and worked for a couple of years on a range of writing and editing projects within the EA space. Recently I helped run the Amplify Creative Grants program, to encourage more impactful podcasting and YouTube projects. You can find a bit of my own creative output on my blog, and my podcast feed.
Reach out to me if you're worried about your first post, want to double check Forum norms, or are confused or curious about anything relating to the EA Forum.
A few things could be useful:
- An overview of funders in the space/ new funders and how things have changed recently.
- How changing priorities has or hasn't changed the profile of the people applying for LTFF funding
- Where the biggest opportunities (some combination of importance and availability of funding) are for people who might be reading a forum post.
Also you can always post during draft amnesty and use the built in excuse to not respond to comments (i.e. we have a table you can put at the top of your post where you can say "I only endorse a weak version of this claim and I probably won't be responding to comments" or something to that effect)
If you're at EAG BA this weekend, me and @Sarah Cheng are doing:
I've also got some 1:1 slots left, and it'd be great to talk to anyone with feedback on the forum experience/ forum events or the EA Newsletter.
