# funding in this space has been wonky funding in this space is broken, that it is competitive when it should be collaborative, that organizations fight over the same small pie instead of finding new sources of revenue, that large charities can out compete small charities by spending millions on fundraising, or that EA has resulted in a risk aversion that has meant an aversion to new methods. Funders occasionally seem to judge a project based on how well they fundraise even though it is possible to be great at programmatic work while horrible at fundraising. #Self/Views
