In August we launched a redesign of the EA Funds website. The main goal was to improve overall perception and make the site feel modern, trustworthy, and more consistent with the effectivealtruism.org brand. We also wanted to aim the site more towards donors, increase transparency around grantmaking and evaluation, and improve overall usability.

We've been making incremental improvements since launch and will continue to do so.

The update includes:

• Improved messaging and visual design
• Designed the site to speak to donors as well as applicants
• Better explanations of the grantmaking process and concrete examples of impact
• More reasoning transparency (including detailed rationale for specific grants)
• Expanded FAQs, especially for applicants
• Added signals of activity (Forum posts, headline numbers) and removed outdated content
• Brand alignment with effectivealtruism.org, while maintaining a distinct identity
