If a charity today is serving 1000 people well (say by providing food security), is it not better if they aspire to serve 1200 people next year?

That’s what “growing a charity” looks like: helping more people.

I think there is a fair distinction to be made between growing the market, and growing the market share.

You may find the Econtalk podcast interviewing Dan Pallota interesting. He is a high paid charity consultant (450k) and defends his work and salary.
