The city of Zurich, Switzerland passed a law to increase their development budget and spend it effectivly. This process was initiated by a group of EAs. Is that what you had in mind?
This seems like a good initiative, I wasn’t aware of that. My idea was to more explicitly redirect some very small percentage of budget to effective charities. Probably human charities would be most politically viable, and also great for optics, as they could say “our donation saved so and so lives”.
