Thanks for asking! I meant to write it in negative – my point with this question was to encourage thinking about collaborators outside the EA organization space. This is because I think local groups can have the tendency to just think about (international) EA orgs when thinking about potential collaborators, and sometimes it could be valuable for them to collaborate with (local) organizations (in addition to EA orgs). Or maybe the question would show that no organizations that are interesting collaborators for the local group would even exist in the imaginary case – this would make the priorities of the local group clearer, and maybe encourage members to start new local projects.
Thanks for your reply, Ada. I completely understand what you mean, and it’s true that sometimes the focus is too much on getting to work for the most famous international EA orgs and not enough on local orgs, companies, charities, etc. Thanks for sharing (and clarifying) this insight!
