Hiring a fundraiser in the US, and perhaps in the Bay specifically, is something GWWC is especially interested in. Our main reason for not doing so is primarily our own funding situation. We’re in the process of fundraising generally right now—if any potential donor is interested, please send me a DM as I’m very open to chatting.
Sorry if my question is ignorant, but why does an effective giving organization needs specialized donors, instead of being mostly self-sustaining?
It makes sense if you are an early organization that needs startup funds (eg a national EA group in a new country, or the first iteration of Giving What We Can). But it seems like GWWC has been around for a while (including after the reboot with you at the helm).
This is the kind of project that seems like a natural fit for Manifund. After all, one of the key variables in the value of the grant is how much money it raises.
