Oh interesting. I want to dig into this more now, but my impression is that an individual’s giving portfolio—both major donors & retail donors, but more so people who aren’t serious philanthropists and/or haven’t reflected a lot on their giving—is that they are malleable and not as zero-sum.
i think with donors likely to give to ea causes, a lot of them haven’t really been stewarded & cultivated and there probably is a lot of room for them to increase their giving.
Mostly basing this on the macro data I have seen that seems to suggest giving as a % of GDP has stayed pretty flat year to year (~2%).
