But there’s not a dichotomy “work at GWWC” vs. “earn to give” – the 200 people can do other work of direct social value. You seem to be making an assumption that differences in comparative advantage (those aren’t picked up by the market mechanism, but that are nevertheless useful for having a positive social impact) are sufficiently small so that one should ignore them, or making assumption that having someone work at GWWC is far more valuable than having someone work somewhere else, or some combination of these things, or another assumption that I’m not picking up on.

Ah, right, I’m thinking in MIRIan terms where you can’t go off and do comparable direct work somewhere else.
