Noice.
**Submission statement:**
Global health and development philanthropy is popular on r/neoliberal, especially orgs like the Against Malaria Foundation. This announcement is a major development that will likely be followed by an even larger one in the next year or two.
tl;dr: Coefficient Giving is massively increasing its funding in 2026 to help the GiveWell ecosystem prepare for an anticipated, even larger wave of funding in the next few years. The primary driver of this, alluded to but not directly stated in the post, is the [Anthropic IPO.](https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/ychu2LAw54sNcocKH/the-anthropic-ipo-is-coming-we-aren-t-ready-for-it)
It’s a big deal for global health, and depending on what happens with that AI funding, it could be an even bigger deal in a year or two. It’s not looking good for malaria.
Did they change their name after either of the Sam dramas to distance from it?
Anyways I am glad to see EA organizations going back to the roots. I think the movement has become increasingly weird and controversial instead of sticking to what should have been an extremely simple message and uncontroversial message about doing good better, and Givewell embodies that.
