Non-profits are different from for-profits in that their aim isn’t profit. But putting that aside, what should effective altruist charities be more similar to: for-profits or non-EA non-profits?
71% of the responding EAs thought that EA charities should be more like for-profits.
59% of the responding non-EAs took the same view. (Though this group was small.)
Obviously this poll isn’t representative so should be taken with a grain of salt.
I was struck by this argument so ran a Twitter poll.
71% of the responding EAs thought that EA charities should be more like for-profits.
59% of the responding non-EAs took the same view. (Though this group was small.)
