>it seems that in order to be worthwhile the person would most likely have to be co-located with the team
My conclusion was the opposite. For this to work well the bread winner should be in a high earning location (which typically high cost living) and the rest of the team should be in a low cost location (which typically have low earning potential).
Being the only one in the team that is i a separate lotion, is not optimal for inclusion. But many teams are spread out anyway. I am pretty sure RAISE is not all in one location. As an other example, the organizers of AI Safety Camp is spread out all over Europe.
>Also, if the organisation later receives funding, the amount of prestige/​influence of those taking this role will seem to drop or they might even become completely obsolete.
This might actually be feature, not a bug. When the new organisation has grown up and are receiving all the grants they need, then it is time for the funder to move on, to the next project, brining with them knowledge and experience from the first project.
