It seems to me like the ratio of preparedness : prevention for environmental change should be way higher

Thanks for asking! Yeah, we haven't advertised this on our website yet. I'd love to help your mission at Leaf--this is exactly the kind of projects I want to support :)

yeah, could be a nonprofit but probably not a charity

I just skimmed. I like the idea. That plausibly only works for sufficiently memetically fit charities (which varies based on the product/service), but that's probably still a significant number.

If this is thesis is true, then it means donors (of charity that have companies with a consumer based that is memetically fit for that charity) should buy companies and transform them into Profit for Good (at least assuming they're able to hire a good CEO, and maybe providing other incentive-based pay for the CEO if they don't have shares), because this would increase the valuation of the company, and so increase their donation impact.

Running the organization directly as a charity would also have other advantages, notably tax benefits and unlimited H1B visas.

I'll share on The Economics of Doing Good (Effective Altruists) and add on Cause Prioritization Wiki.

I sent an email with a group application on September 18th (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ERZ7spGHZYJjixaY3ln4eVxu_GKkOWqvB9rpz3Abd6M/), but still haven't received a reply; I hadn't used the Google Form given it was a group application -- Did you receive my application? :/

Is this program family-friendly?
