This seems like a great idea. Making effective altruism open and welcoming to all sorts of people is definitely an important goal. One thing I’ve been considering (which I’m surprised I don’t see more discussions of in the community) is doing different types of fundraising for AMF, through which I could have conversations with potential donors about effective giving. Seeing someone actively doing something for a specific cause, rather than just discussing philosophy and logistics, seems like something that would appeal to more emotionally-minded donors.

Yup, this makes sense. Here are some resources on this topic, just in case you’re not aware of them.
