There is so much room to be better at funding nonprofits than donors currently are. Especially big donors, which are governments or might as well be. Imagine if your startup had to raise money from a government agency. That's what your friends running nonprofits are up against.

Do you more mean "make donors more effective" or "make it easier for nonprofits to raise money"?
I'm talking about improving the interface between donors and nonprofits, which would do both. At the moment, big donors are brutally bureaucratic and micromanaging, and nonprofits have no way to push back against them. There isn't the balance of forces you see in business.

This imbalance means the way the nonprofits operate is dictated by the big donors. But that is not good for either of them. And it burns out the founders of nonprofits, who grit their teeth and bear it for as long as they can, then leave.

Maybe more small donors is the answer.
