Actually, you've been talking about raising money for EA. Raising the sanity waterline in the rich West is not an EA goal because there is no efficient $/QALY ratio there.
Actually, I'd disagree - raising the sanity waterline in the rich West is an EA goal, to the extent that raising the sanity waterline causes people to be more rational about their donations, and thus give to more effective charities. This is very much a meta-goal, of course, and one that has a great deal of impact. In the EA movement, this is called movement-building.
An explicit EA goal to which it is willing to commit money?
I don't mean it in the sense of "it would be nice if X happened", I mean it in the sense of "we will spend resources to move this forward". The EA movement-building has narrow focus and is not concerned with the general raising of the sanity waterline.
Yes, it is an explicit goal of some EA efforts, such as EA Outreach, The Life You Can Save, Intentional Insights, Giving What We Can.
