I got the OpenPhil grant only after the other grant went through (and wasn’t thinking much about OpenPhil when I applied for the other grant). I never thought to inform the other grant maker after I got the OpenPhil grant, which maybe I should have in hindsight out of courtesy?
This was covering some salary for a fixed period of research, partially retroactive, after an FTX grant fell through. So I guess I didn’t have use for more than X, in some sense (I’m always happy to be paid a higher salary! But I wouldn’t have worked for a longer period of time, so I would have felt a bit weird about the situation)

Given the order of things, and the fact that you did not have use for more money, this seems indeed reasonable. Thanks for the clarification.
