Part of the methodology is to have lots of "grassroots organizations". Every two-bit activist in the space seems to run a "group", and be on at least the "advisory board" of a couple of others. There are also some larger groups, more what you'd think of as "real" organizations, that can help coordinate. Wealthy people also like forming organizations that can employ a few dozen people on their boards with $250K salaries and expense accounts to be able to provide jobs for their kids for several generations hence. So they pick a cause, any cause, and start an organization. Ones who don't actually have to feed the hungry, but just provide "awareness" are the most lucrative because they can funnel all the tax-free money to friends and family "consultants"
