To give a sense of scale, how much would it cost to get you to do it? I'd love to help fund it, but definitely don't make fully 2x "Support a family", so it would be intersting to know how many people I'd need to round up.

I would personally forego 60-70% of my salary to work on impactful things I want to work on. Rent paid, dog fed, wife happy. Not much else to ask for.
Exactly, I would do it for just enough to pay rent, food, medical, etc. for my family for at least a few years. I think these days that could be anywhere from 25k to 75k (just a guess) depending on an individual's location.
