This is so obvious I’m sure you’ve already been through it, so comment if this is the case and I’ll delete:
How constraining would it be to try to fundraise for CS outside the EA community? Presumably money you get donated from here will be coming from other EA causes or the charities you’re trying to fundraise for. Could you try and tap into fundraising orgs http://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/home/ or get them to commission experiments (the hard to quantify downside is you’ll be crowding your own market with people that don’t have effectiveness as an objective)
I think it would be very hard to raise money for something that is 100% fundraising overhead outside of EA or EA minded people. We did consider it and have applied for some other non-EA funding with no success.
