Mhmm, A cursory glance picks up lots of technosolutionist talking point. In eco friendly circles, technosolutionisme is considered not great because it usually focuses on unprooven hypothetical tech and ignores curent tech actual solution (but which would require adapting our lifestyle). It usually feels like an excuse to not make any sacrifice to our way of life.
For exemple, we see funding for decarbonizing air travel (it's a very long shot, for something hardly vital, i wouldn't call this a data driven good target for our limited dollars), or develloping tastier "alternative proteins" so plant based meat substitute (we allready have tasty and balanced vegetarian diets, it's called indian cuisine).
Now that was just failing the vibe check for me, but probably not so bad as to be disqualified (no large org is 100% aligned with everyone's preference, and purity competition suck)... I'd have to do more research.
Did anybody allready do the homework of looking into the guys behind this, what they did before, ect?
I wouldn't really call it mostly technosolutionist. Most of the things they fund is more focused on government/corporate lobbying (eg. https://catf.us). They have a detailed report on why they're...

From this it does seem to be a pretty cost effective way to prevent a large amount of emissions

I understand anecdotal experience isn't great evidence, but plant-based meat has been huge for reducing my own meat consumption. I'd probably never go vegetarian otherwise, but having access to tasty plant based meat since recently does makes me seriously consider that as an option. I don't think I'm the only one like this, and the surveys seem to support that. There's plenty of people who eat meat because they like the taste, and having plant-based options that taste as good would let them reduce their meat consumption.

They have a detailed report on why they're funding aviation emission reduction: https://www.givinggreen.earth/research/reducing-aviation-emissions-strategy-report
