I’m not sure having a “bigger EA tent” leads to more funding/interest, if anything, people may be less likely to fund/support/be interested in a group that supports many different areas rather than the cause they mainly care about. At least it seems like cause specific orgs get much more funding than multi-cause/EA orgs.
Yeah I’m not sure we’re really disagreeing here? I agree people are less interested in as group that supports different areas and that orgs should mostly be cause specific. I’m talking about having a lot of grace for a wide range of “high impact’ causes under the broader EA tent depending on people’s epistemics and cost effectiveness calculation methods. I think this is more helpful than doubling down on prioritisation and leaving groups our causes feeling like they might be on the “outer” edge of EA or excluded completely

Maybe I’m being too vague here though...
