I wouldnt call them bozos, but they are largely ineffective. The goal of many NGOs is to raise money and sustain themselves, not maximizing impact. The ones that have their heart in the right place are commonly not effective at accomplishing their goals. This is plain to see and the entire reason the EA movement came to be. Homelessness NGOs in CA have largely made the entire situation worse by refusing to advocate for anything other than insanely expensive publicly paid for apartments. This is not an effective situation and actively harms the population they are trying to serve. This type of situation shows up over and over again in the NGO game
