I’d actually say there’s a lot of work done on recruiting HNW donors—it’s just mainly done via one-on-one meetings so not very visible.
That said, Open Philanthropy, Effective Giving, Founder’s Pledge, Longview & Generation Pledge all have it as part of their mission.
There would be even more work on it, but right now the bottleneck seems to be figuring out how to spend the money we already have (we’re only deploying $400m p.a. out of over $40bn+, under 1%). If we had a larger number of big, compelling opportunities, we could likely get more mega donors interested.
