Whether this discount rate is accurate is another question – given the relative abundance of cash available to EA orgs (through OpenPhil and Good Ventures), a rate as high as this is surprising.
It’s worth noting that Open Phil does not currently fund EA movement building organizations, so not all EA organizations have access to a large amount of money.
Edit: It turns out I’m wrong. See the reply to this comment.

That post is from 2015 and I don’t think it’s currently accurate. For example, Open Phil has granted to CEA and CFAR since that time.
