@catehall - Let me preface this by saying other people's money is other

Let me preface this by saying other people's money is other people's money, and I'm hesitant to opine on the best use of money that isn't mine. That said: - Even if you assume that the Ant cofounders will be looking to move a lot of money to effective charities quickly, the problem is: it isn't possible. There aren't enough great orgs out there, at least not by EA-favored measures. - EAs seem to think the natural next question is how nonprofits are going to "absorb" all this extra money despite inadequate capacity, potential COIs, and risk of putting money to bad use. It's a common EA framing, IMO, to treat others' money as a mix between something EA orgs are naturally entitled to and a problem to be solved. - If I were an impact-oriented Ant cofounder, I would instead be asking if there are ways to generate impact at scale other than giving (most of) it to EA orgs. - This is basically the same question we were dealing with at Astera, and the approach @elidourado and I developed was built around deploying philanthropically committed capital for short-horizon investments, loans, credit enhancements, etc. for both mission-driven for-profit and nonprofit orgs. - This can be used not just to park and recycle cash until it can be reasonably deployed via grants, but to attract (other) market-rate capital to socially beneficial investments it would otherwise not flow to. If any Ant folks, or other people coming into a big pile of cash they eventually want to donate, want to talk about how to do this, I'm happy to discuss (for free). There are only opportunities, not problems, here.
