“Untapping the Philanthropic Potential in Estonia: Help us reach more donors” by LMKull, KadiKaljurand

Summary EA Estonia runs Anneta Targalt, the Estonian effective giving donation platform that has moved $317,758 to top-rated effective charities since December 2021. Operating entirely on volunteer capacity, we've already attracted two of Estonia's top 10 wealthiest individuals as donors, but lack the resources to scale. We're seeking $24,020 to hire a 0.5 FTE Platform Coordinator for one year to unlock growth through major donor cultivation, paid advertising, and volunteer team coordination. Our goal: reach $46,000 in small donations annually and secure at least 3 new major donors giving at least $1,150/year each. Make a donation to Anneta Targalt platform here. (https://annetatargalt.ee/donate) Current situation EA Estonia has operated Anneta Targalt since December 2021, directing donations to GiveWell top charities, Animal Charity Evaluators recommendations, and the Founders Pledge Climate Change Fund. The platform is entirely volunteer-run, which significantly constrains our growth potential.
