This seems somewhat backwards to me. If the job that paid the most was part of the problems I was trying to solve by donation (for example) wouldn't that discredit this strategy? Not to mention the old saying, "if you want something done right, do it yourself" comes to mind. How am I really going to vet the donations without being on the team?

No. They're going to hire someone to do the job, you just need to do incrementally worse than whoever would be your replacement and it's a net positive for your cause. Easy to do in most organizations. >> How am I really going to vet the donations without being on the team? How are you going to do that with being on the team? Most places you're a tiny part of an organization. There are plenty of ways to vet charities and other organizations to make sure they are doing what they claim to be doing.
