So it sounds as though while FHI values funds a lot in its current somewhat underfunded state, your utility function has steeply diminishing marginal returns for additional dollars past a certain point. Maybe you could start making annual announcements regarding the rough dollar amount beyond which you think FHI changes from a "great" giving opportunity to an "ok" giving opportunity, and also keep us up to date on what progress donors are making towards this dollar amount? This seems like it could be valuable for donors to better coordinate their giving and maximize overall x-risk reduction.
This sounds like a good idea. I'll either try to do so, or ask a member of CEA if they'd be willing to talk to me and then do so. I think I prefer the latter, as they may be able to give an assessment that is less biased and more informed by how "great" FHI is as a giving opportunity relative to other opportunities.
