UPDATE 2023/12/21: Open Phil’s $3.5M donation matching for the Long-Term Future Fund has now been filled[1]. So your donations to LTFF will no longer be matched. That said, this fundraising post was written 4 months ago, and we’d like to continue fundraising (especially given that December is an unusually good time to fundraise).
Open Phil’s donation matching for the EA Infrastructure Fund has not been filled (currently $1.3M/$3.5), and my current projection is that by default they won’t be filled by the deadline (end of Jan 2024). So to the extent that you’re fairly indifferent between LTFF and EAIF, and believe that either fund is a better use of marginal resources than OP’s marginal dollar, it might make more sense to donate to EAIF than LTFF.[2]
The dashboard currently says $3.34M/$3.5M filled but my understanding is that a few donations that aren’t up on the dashboard yet would be enough to cross over the line.

Of course, if you think one fund is much more impactful than another, you should donate to that fund instead.
