<<Would AIM produce more than one times our current impact at four times our budget? Sure, almost definitely, but it would be way less than four times the impact, and I think this is true for many organizations. Thus AIM made a deliberate call to stay at a smaller level of scale than the highest amounts offered to us.>>
Couldn’t you just take (some of) the funding and regrant?
(This could be discretionary rather than through application processes and presumably wouldn’t take you much time, given that you have lots of informed views about different orgs’ needs and potential anyway. E.g. could mostly be to incubatees. Although I imagine maybe there are some dynamics you’d prefer to avoid there in terms of your relationship with them.)
