I’m glad you shared this. I wrote something 18 months ago that was trying to get at a similar point, but then got distracted by delivering on contracts and applying for jobs, so never followed up on it.
Having spent most of my career working with and consulting for funders like ‘Donor B’, I couldn’t agree more.
It also prompts me to reflect on a conversation I had at EAG this year, in which a prominent EA shared that they were considering applying to be CEO of a well-resourced non-EA animal welfare organisation. I’m not sure if they ended up applying, or how that went, but I suspect that this kind of thing might also help on the path to (marginally more) ‘effective everything’.
