This seems like both a wonderful idea, and not mutually exclusive with the original. Having this organization could potentially increase the credibility of the entire thing, get some underdog points with the general public (although I don't know how powerful this is for average people), and act as a backup plan.
I think they actually are mutually exclusive. The original plan calls for quickly getting lots of people to support using ads on CraigsList to support inefficient causes that are already popular with the general public.
The plan to start with ads on LessWrong supporting high value organizations such as SIAI, and then expanding virally through other blogs has a long term goal of getting big sites such as CraigsList to join. If these big targets already have entrenched competing programs, this would be much harder.
To be compatible, the original plan needs to involve convincing people to support high value causes.
