Also, adding to this, potential donors might be willing to pay more for you, given your experience, but maybe you’ve accounted for this in “market rates, etc”. Presumably this would increase the probability of success of the org, from their POV.
And even bumping up the costs of the whole org 2x through higher salaries still leaves an insecticide charity at least 1⁄2 as cost-effective as something extraordinarily cost-effective (the same org where the same people work for less), which is still extraordinarily cost-effective!
If the counterfactual is that such a charity isn’t started at all, that could be much worse than you running it at higher pay.
