Room for more funding is a concept that is commonly used in discussions of effective giving and high impact philanthropy. It is related to the question of how a given charity can effectively absorb ''additional'' funds and the cost-effectiveness of the additional activities that the charity will undertake with these additional funds. It is an application to charitable giving of concerns about scalability. It can also be thought of as an application of the principle of marginalism to understanding the effect of charitable donations. The concept seems to have been introduced and given public prominence by charity evaluator GiveWell.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Guide to "room for more funding" analysis )〕 People in the effective giving movement have argued that it is often the case that a charity's best and most cost-effective programs are already fully funded and the programs for which additional funding will be used are less effective, hence a person seeking to do the most good with his/her money should take the "room for more funding" question seriously. An extreme example of this is smallpox eradication: although the smallpox eradication program was a great success, it has no room for more funding because it has already accomplished its purpose. ==Discussions of room for more funding== * Charity evaluator GiveWell has published a detailed guide on room for more funding〔 and has a number of blog posts on the topic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Blog category room for more funding )〕 GiveWell employee Holden Karnofsky has also discussed room for more funding in guest posts for ''Tactical Philanthropy''〔 and the Stanford Social Innovation Review. * An article by Jacob Pekarek for the Expositor, a publication of Trinity University, has a discussion of room for more funding, attributing the idea to GiveWell. * Charity evaluator and effective giving advocacy group Giving What We Can states on its website that the room for more funding question is a key part of its methodology for evaluating charities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Fungibility and room for funding )〕 * The ''Chronicle of Philanthropy'' has discussed room for more funding in a blog post. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「room for more funding」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
