EA Infrastructure Fund
The EA Infrastructure Fund (EAIF) is one of four funds operated by Effective Altruism Funds (EA Funds), a platform created by the Centre for Effective Altruism. EAIF recommends grants that aim to improve the work of projects using the principles of effective altruism by increasing their access to talent, capital, and knowledge. While the other three EA Funds support direct work on specific causes, EAIF supports work that multiplies the impact of direct efforts, including projects that provide intellectual infrastructure for the effective altruism community, run events, disseminate information, conduct cause prioritization research, or fundraise for effective charities. Since 2023, the fund has focused on 'principles-first EA,' prioritizing cause-neutral community building and epistemic infrastructure.

Theory of Change
EAIF operates on the theory that supporting the infrastructure of the effective altruism ecosystem can multiply the impact of direct work on important problems. By funding community building, prioritization research, epistemic infrastructure, and talent pipelines, the fund aims to increase the overall quality and quantity of resources flowing to the most effective interventions. The causal chain runs from building a principled, evidence-based community of people trying to do the most good, to improving how resources (talent, capital, knowledge) are allocated across cause areas including AI safety and existential risk reduction. Better cause prioritization research helps identify the most important problems; stronger community infrastructure recruits and supports talented people to work on those problems; and improved epistemic norms help the community make better decisions about where to direct efforts.
