Probably. But would the general public find IEC (or SIAI) compelling? I'm thinking not.
For a something like this, we need something that will appeal to the average person (at least the average Facebook/Craigslist user), and I think human development projects are more likely to do that than research projects or existential risk projects.
Convincing the general public that these causes are worthwhile sounds like a worthwhile make a desperate effort level project.
Or we can just ignore expected utlity, and attempt to satisfy our desire for warm fuzzies.
