Mar 31, 2019Centre for Enabling EA Learning & Research$4,167EA infrastructurevipul_donationsThe money goes directly toward supporting the EA Hotel and extending its runway by a few weeks. https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/BM2DYWpM6rSxyZ7AS/my-q1-2019-ea-hotel-donation#I_find_the_value_of_marginal_donations_high_and_easy_to_grasp says: "With this model of spending, I can concretely think of my donation of 3200 GBP as having added about 13 days to the hotel's runway.". Greg Colbourn comments with an updated estimate: "Note that costs have been lower recently (due to relying more on volunteer labour, and an increase in contributions from guests) - for an average over January-March your donation covers 20 days of costs, and for March alone it covers 27 days (and will likely be similar for April)."
