1/ After 10+ years in the nonprofit sector, I’m convinced that relying on donations is an ineffective way to scale impact. Here’s why the donation trap is a broken model:
The problem is not that donations are hard (though I agree they are!). It’s that raising donations isn’t very correlated with effectively using that $ to help people.

Fair enough, but why would (or should) fundraising chops correlate with impact? Would we expect the best fundraisers to have the most impact? On the other hand I do wish those having the most impact were the best fundraisers

Yes, I think that generally the nonprofits that raise the most money *should* have the most impact, and I think most donors, nonprofits, etc. would agree.
