As ckbyrd said, the worst risks can be thwarted by omitting mention of the “effective altruism” label. Pitches for specific companies should also bear in mind the corporate identity of the company and on that basis make custom recommendations for more effective giving.
A little while ago I’ve been thinking about starting an EA intermediary for payroll giving and matching gifts, like EasyMatch. A great advantage that I see in EA in that area is that corporate philanthropy is often criticized for being all about PR so that it’s not focused on impact. A company whose customers or employees care about impact could effectively avoid that charge by explicitly supporting highly effective charities.
