Some way of distributing money to risky ventures, including fundraising, in global poverty and animal welfare should probably exist.
I think it’s pretty reasonable if CEA doesn’t want to do this because (a) they take a longtermist view and (b) they have limited staff capacity so aren’t willing to divert many resources from (a) to anything else. In fact, given CEA’s stated views it would be a bit strange if they acted otherwise. I know less about Nick, but I’m guessing the story there is similar.
I have a limited sense for what to do about this problem, and I don’t know if the solution in the OP is actually a good idea, but recognising the disconnect between what people want and what we have is a start.

I may write more about this in the near future.
