Dear Jason,
Thank you for your thoughtful inquiry about the potential impact of additional funding for our project. Your observation that the "funding utilization" section could benefit from more specificity is greatly appreciated. Let me explain further how extra funding would significantly bolster our efforts.
Effective Thesis operates on an extremely lean budget, dedicating every available resource to maintaining our core operations. This strict funding constraint severely limits our ability to pursue the development of the research questions database. This project would greatly amplify our impact by providing a crucial resource to the student, academic, and altruistic communities.
The funds we seek to raise through this campaign would be allocated directly to developing and maintaining this database for public use. Without this additional targeted funding, we lack the resources and capacity to bring this high-potential tool to fruition and to maintain it continuously as required.
To be more precise, supplementary funding would empower our team to:
Collaborate extensively with a wider network of academics and cause area experts to identify the highest-leverage research questions across disciplines.
Develop a robust, user-friendly platform to host the curated question repository and facilitate research collaboration.
Conduct targeted outreach to universities, think tanks, non-profits, and student groups to drive engagement with the platform and the high-impact research opportunities it highlights.
Implement a rigorous question evaluation methodology and maintain the database with the most up-to-date, relevant content.
In essence, incremental funding would make the critical difference between this high-potential resource existing in a well-developed, publicly accessible form or not coming into being. It would unlock our ability to deliver a powerful tool for advancing pivotal research into the hands of the academic and altruistic communities, accelerating progress on the most pressing global challenges.
I hope this added context illustrates the counterfactual value that your support would provide. We are committed to maximizing the impact of every dollar entrusted to us. Funding from partners like you makes work like this possible.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. I would be more than happy to discuss this further.
