This is the problem with the idea of ‘room for funding’. There is no single amount of funding a charity ‘needs’. In reality there’s just a diminishing return curve. Additional donations tend to have a little less impact, but this effect is very small when we’re talking about donations that are small relative to the charity’s budget (if there’s only one charity you want to support), or small relative to the EA community as a whole if you take a community perspective.
