Funding threshold set by money available and ranked opportunities
GiveWell sets its funding threshold by ranking all possible programs by cost-effectiveness measured in multiples of direct cash transfers (where giving a poor person $1,000 equals a value of 1) and funding down the ranked list as far as available money allows—currently to a multiple of 10—so the bar that top charities must clear depends on how much money GiveWell has raised.

Elie HassenfeldEvidence Quote
“we put things in our model in terms of multiples of direct cash transfers... we're going to fund our list all the way down currently to 10. That's our estimate. Of course, very debatable; but that's how we're doing it.”
