In 2010, Cari Tuna leave her job in the Wall Street Journal to work full-time on developing a giving strategy for her husband and herself -Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz. Tuna made knowledge and transparency sharing core elements of the foundation; creating a site to report on the foundation's activities and learnings.
Good Ventures co-funded projects so the foundation could gain insights into the decision-making and assessment procedures of funders with big, full time staffs, while also striking pre-vetted, promising offering opportunities. Tuna was inspired by charity evaluator GiveWell and began to learn from, fiscally partner with all the organization, and eventually support. To boost the grantmaking research procedure, Tuna and GiveWell created a strict "funnel" strategy using shallow, medium, and deep investigations into potential issue areas to determine what places had the greatest need, had demonstrated options, and were comparatively finance.
This collaboration eventually became the Open Philanthropy Project, an endeavor to pick especially promising focus areas for large-scale philanthropy, make grants, and talk about the procedure and outcomes publicly to increase the quality of information available about the best way to give effectively.
