I wonder at what point donations to the SIAI would hit diminishing returns and contributing to another underfunded cause would be more valuable? Suppose for example Bill Gates was going to donate 1.5 billion US$, would my $100 donation still be best placed with the SIAI?

Marginal contributions are certainly important to consider, and it’s one of the reasons I mentioned in my original post about why I support them.
Even asteroid discovery, long considered underfunded, is receiving hundreds of millions.
