If GWWC will continue on as an internal brand within the Community & Outreach Division, how open is CEA in taking donations earmarked for GWWC instead of general operations funding? I ask because some donors may evaluate GWWC as substantially more impactful than CEA’s other activities.
My current plan is that to a first approximation we won’t accept restricted donations, including to GWWC. (It’s a fiction that truly restricted donations are possible, anyway). But we will give donors the chance to express their preferences about how the money is to be used, which we’ll consider in the aggregate when making strategic decisions. If donors think we’re making major mistakes in allocation of resources between different activities, I’d love to see that written up, it would be very helpful to us.
