Would you rather that each person who donates decides exactly what his money will be spent on? I don't see how that would be anything but extremely inefficient.

I've been thinking about your comment and I'm a little confused by the description of your situation.
Were you working for a non-profit as a reasercher or were you working for a for-profit research outfit funded by a non-profit.? because if you are working for a non-profit lab --- wouldn't that indeed make you part of the non-profit sector?
