I am pretty sure that the donors that Open Phil is talking to would not meaningfully undo the huge shift in OPs relationship to its own cost-effectiveness estimates. Maybe you disagree here, I would be happy to bet about survey outcomes of OP staff.
It seems clear you actually do not want them to recruit donors for the grantees you’re focused on
I am not sure what you mean by this. I would love for Open Phil staff to find additional donors for domains I support. I also think that donor would then probably be well-advised to hire away some of the OP staff, or hire additional staff of their own, and my guess is would end up with a very different relationship than you have to OP, but that doesn’t really bear on the question of whether I would OP staff to try to recruit donors for these things. I would like to see more funding to stuff that I care about, including from OP.
Oh sorry I wasn’t speaking precisely enough—I only meant you wouldn’t want them working with OP and would advise them not to. I didn’t mean to put words in your mouth and I agree they could help recruit a donor to work with another group.
Ah, cool. Yeah, that makes sense. I think that’s my current position, though to be clear, I am far from confident on this, it’s just my best guess about how to navigate the (to me) very tricky seeming dynamics here.
