These are effectively a subsidy from the developer org to the org they are doing the work for. To some extent this makes them a small grant funding body which distributes to any org claiming to be effective. I would be concerned about free-riding.
It might be better to a charge a normal/slightly discounted rate for “effective” projects and then let the subsidy be delivered by other funders.
Thanks for mentioning. Yeah, that makes sense. I think that you could limit it to a certain portion of the work (say no more than 25% of work can be subsidised etc). I’d be ok with the external funding alternative if it didn’t add too much extra friction.
