FWIW, many grants are smaller than annual GWWC pledge values, so you may in fact sometimes be pretty directly supporting multiple interventions at once. I calculated the median grant size as $8,241.50 for the LTFF in Q4 2022 (based on https://funds.effectivealtruism.org/grants ). EDIT: Marginal returns do probably pretty quickly diminish for most grantees of the LTFF, contrary to the post’s assumptions.
I’d also guess ACE’s Recommended Charity Fund and GiveWell’s Top Charity Fund would regrant marginal donations to multiple charities.
It was more that DMRA preferences can lead to choosing a stochastically-dominated choice, which then reduces my confidence in holding the DMRA preferences in the first place.
Same for me, but the post’s conclusion seems stronger than would be warranted just based on this, even if we ignore non-DMRA reasons.

Yeah this is a relevant point to me.
