My only worry about funding FHI exclusively is that they are primarily philosophical and academic. I'd worry that the default thing they would do with more money would be to produce more philosophical papers. Rather than say doing/funding biological research or programming, if that was what was needed.
But as the incentive structures for x-risk reduction organisations go, those of an academic philosophy department aren't too bad at this stage.
