I've read a lot of science fiction. As an experiment, I'm recommending books that I think are relevant to the ideas that people discuss on this forum. Let me know if you think what I'm doing is useful or not.
I can't find the article but I read something (an economics paper) suggesting that charitable trusts should invest in the companies most opposed to their mission (e.g. oil and gas for a climate change charity) to:
a) try to sabotage the companies via voting
b) hedge against the success of the companies (e.g. if oil and gas is still making a ton of money in 10 years, the climate change charity would than have likely outperformed the market and would have more money to fight back - and if the oil and gas companies go out of business, the climate change charity would not need the money because they would have already won the fight).
You should look into that.
Specifically, it seems like any time a charity would prefer this approach, they would already be investing their own donations (and many organizations, like Wikipedia and universities, do).
The only thing I can think of is that maybe there are charities who would do this but don't want to because they think it will make them look bad on Charity Navigator.
The book series "Hyperion Cantos" by Dan Simmons explores what this might be like for the digital people being recreated.

Some of the interesting ideas that the series explores around this topic:
I would advise that you judge them by what they actually do, not what they say they will do.
