I don’t really have relevant data – my guess is the effect is 65% due to simply fewer such groups existing in the first place, and 35% due to such groups being less aware that they can apply for funding.
(Though I think this split depends a lot on how broad we consider the relevant population of groups to be – e.g., if we counted all university groups having anything to do with animal welfare, whether or not they are particularly effectiveness-minded, then the claim that fewer such groups exist may be false.)
But my guess is very uncertain since I have very little familiarity with what kind of groups are existing at universities in the English-speaking world, so I’d be very interested in hearing from someone who might have a more informed impression.
