    US funding having been a toxic source of dependency, and it being better in the long run to get money elsewhere.

    Yup, pretty much my intent, that and the insecurity it engenders, rather surprised by the reaction.

      the reaction makes sense; these organizations are modeled after for-profit corporations since that’s where most of its leaders come from and oriented towards simpler modes of funding like the american gov’t; this is effectively a disaster for this sort of posture and it’s hard from them to imagine any other form.
