Q: Who is involved in this? A: The initial members of the initial circle are Rufus Pollock, James Baker, and Kevin Triplett.
Q: How much money is involved? A: As of pilot kickoff March 2025: Approximately $20k precommitment by initial circle, aiming to learn effectively at small scale.
Q: Can I recommend someone or something to receive support? A: Yes, we welcome suggestions to the pilot circle. See the Recommend page
Q: Are you making any money from this in any way? No 🙂
Q: Can I give you money to give away? Not at the moment. We aren't yet ready to steward for others but we are exploring how that could work (Creating a "fund" is fairly far down the possible roadmap.). We are happy to offer advice though so please get in touch.
Q: Will you tell me who to give money to? A: Not for now but eventually sort of. On the one hand, we believe that wise giving is relational and distributed and thus there exists no globally-optimal set of recommendations. HOwever, we can advise on patterns we are discerning and are also already embedded in a relational web, and may usefully add our sense-making to your own. At some point we hope to to create and distribute a "recommendation portfolio".
