Good point! This does sound limiting. I guess I’d flag it, for one, as a message to funders when determining how to structure things. I’d hope that the EA Fund managers and others can be convinced to eventually donate in more and more optimal ways, if those ways really are optimal (and that can be made very clear). For instance, when donating to specific projects, paying attention to make clauses to ensure that the researchers have flexibility to make significant modifications if necessary.
