This is absolute hogwash.

The members of ALSs were not brought here, in many cases actively
solicited, because of their fundraising skills. To suggest that the
viability (let alone success) of ALAC is to be judged on its ability to
self-finance is to grotesquely miss the point of why it exists in the
first place. But you certainly wouldn't be the first person to do that...
