    I had an ex who worked as a grantwriter for a shark conservation org. Most of their funding came from 9-digit millionaires. If she could get $100k out of them, she'd defend them against my accusation that the other 99.9% of their wealth came from doing the things that destroy the oceans. That the PR value of giving $100k written off their taxes is then used to greenwash their war against nature. They were good people who cared about sharks, even though the ways they're killing the ocean are undermining the entire food chain sharks are such important apex predators of.
