I believe there should be a meta charity 100% focused on earning to give.
In December 2020, Charity Entrepreneurship proposed the following (post here):
EARNING TO GIVE +
Description: Earning to give (E2G) has been long considered by effective altruists. Earning to give + follows the same idea but includes more elements: in particular, bringing lessons from the E2G field into EA (e.g. management practices, communications strategies, and decision making methodologies) and bringing EA insights into the E2G workplace (e.g. fundraisers, donation matching, and EA movement building).
E2G has historically lacked an organization focused specifically on providing support, community, and advice to those going down this path. The additions encapsulated in E2G+ make the career path even more impactful and more connected to the EA movement. A new organization would also address two of the largest concerns with the EA movement: the small number of impactful opportunities available; and EA’s insularity, which often leads to reinventing the wheel. E2G+ can be a highly impactful career path able to absorb a large number of impact-focused individuals and could strengthen the EA movement, both financially and through introducing best practices and ideas from outside.
I suspect this ended up being https://www.highimpactprofessionals.org/, which is not focused on EtG[1].
Do you think there should be a meta charity focused on EtG?
@Nina Friedrich🔸, @Devon Fritz 🔸, @Federico Speziali, or @Joey 🔸, your input would be very helpful 💛.

Thank you so much for the context 💛
My raw thoughts (apologies for the low quality):
- I think the target audience should be high earners who are already donating >=10% of their income. (Getting people from 0% to 10% would not be in the scope of the charity. I think GWWC is already doing a great job)
- The two main goals:
- Motivate people to increase their donations (from 10% to 20% is probably much easier than from 0% to 10%)
- Help people significantly increase their earnings through networking, coaching, financial advice, tax optimization, etc.
- One of the most v
