The point isn’t specific to GWWC though—rather, I think it’s potentially promising that cause-neutral effective giving organizations have the potential to effectively launder GHD dollars into AW dollars, by persuading GHD donors to support GHD effective giving (rather than persuading them to support animals, which is presumably harder).
That’s fair. I think we should try both. I also think we particularly need to test ways of motivating non “animal people” to donate to farm animal welfare, as otherwise orgs like GWWC will only be able to capture latent willingness to donate to AW. We need increased willingness to get where we need to be on funding
Yep, the idea is more the former. And While GWWC is mainly OP funded, that’s not entirely the case (https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/a8wijyw45SjwmeLY6/gwwc-is-funding-constrained-and-prefers-broad-base-support), and could expand on the margin with individual donor contributions.
