I agree the system is far from perfect and we still have a lot of room to grow. Broadly I think donors (albeit imperfectly) give more money to places they think are expected to have higher impact, and an org prioritizes (albeit imperfectly) having higher staffing costs if they think staffing on the margin is relatively more important to the org’s marginal success.
I think we’re far from that idealistic position now but we can and are slowly moving towards it.
