I notice most of these don’t have arguments for why individual donations are better than OpenPhil just funding the org for now (beyond the implicit argument that diverse donor base is good maybe). I’m curious if any of them have good arguments there? Without it, it feels like a donor’s money is just funging with OpenPhil’s last dollar—this is great, but I strive to do better.
I appreciated the clear discussion of this in the AI governance section and find opportunities there particularly compelling
