Stewardship in EA’s Most Important Era

This EA Forum post from May 2026 describes operational best practices at Coefficient Giving, a rapidly scaling philanthropic organization that has quintupled in size over four years and continues aggressive hiring. The author demonstrates talent density through systematic stakeholder engagement (1,200 written responses, 600 calls, successful candidate referrals) and concrete operational wins (40% average savings on software, 20% on other expenses through negotiation). The thesis fit centers on AI-transition infrastructure: building capacity within EA organizations to absorb capital and talent during a funding boom, with explicit focus on hiring non-EAs into safety-adjacent roles and scaling executive support functions that multiply senior leadership output.
