I work in policy in the UK. I have donated this because there are many coordination problems in policy and politics, and solving them would potentially unstick so many Schelling points

I work in policy in the UK. I have pledged to this, because in my view:
Government spending is very large. Individuals with mid level seniority often have an outsized ability to influence relatively large sums of money (read the Statecraft blog if you'd like some examples of what an effective individual can do - https://www.statecraft.pub/). This project only needs to reach a relatively small number of people, and improve a relatively small number of decisions, to have a significant net positive impact. This feels very achievable.
