Right, to phrase my question another way: suppose we could either:
Convince someone to give 11% of their income, instead of 10%, to the top charities
Convince someone to make their “non-EA” donations slightly more effective
It seems to me that (1) is both easier and more impactful.
EdIT: Ben Todd said the same thing as me but better.
I would question whether 1 is in fact easier. In the case of most of the people I know, I would guess that it’s not.
