Hello, thank you for clarifying. I didn’t know that the fundraising process is coordinated in this sort of way. I get the impression that many introductory materials on effective altruism don’t really explain this too well, leading to the sort of misconception I may have had when I wrote my question.
I think a lot of this coordination is implicit rather than explicit, and I don’t think it’s very well publicised (and there’s room for marginal donations to change whether the org gets funded to their high Vs medium target for example, and signalling value that individuals think this is good, so I do not mean to say that this is the only consequence of a donation).
