As I alluded to in a comment to KHorton’s related post, I believe SoGive could grow to spend something like this much money.
SoGive’s core idea is to provide EA style analysis, but covering a much more comprehensive range of charities than the charities currently assessed by EA charity evaluators.
As mentioned there, benefits of this include:
SoGive could have a broader appeal because we would be useful to so many more people; it could conceivably achieve the level of brand recognition achieved by charity evaluators such as Charity Navigator, which have high levels of brand recognition in the US (c50% with a bit of rounding).
Lots of the impact here is the illegible impact that comes from being well-known and highly influential; this could lead to more major donors being attracted to EA-style donating, or many other things.
There’s also the impact that could come from donating to higher impact things within a lower impact cause area, and the impact of influencing the charity sector to have more impact
Full disclosure: I founded SoGive.
This short comment is not sufficient to make the case for SoGive, so I should probably right up something more substantial.
