Thanks for the summary!
It is worth noting that, even if one thinks spending money later would be more effective, one could still donate to the Patient Philanthropy Fund!
Giving What We Can estimates that each dollar donated to them eventually results in $100 in donations towards their top charities.
The estimate for the counterfactual donations would be 30 $:
We estimate our giving multiplier for 2020–2022 is 30x [not 100x], and that we counterfactually generated $62 million of value for highly effective charities.
