Ok… We’re working with our grantees here. You sound like a mob! 
As to the content generation idea, while I think I understand the value proposition, I think it is unrealistic for at least the following reasons: For ZCG specifically, we’re already working overtime. If I were going to put in more hours at my own expense, I would spend more time on review, not marketing. Remember, we’re not even allocated 1/4 time for this. It’s supposed to be < 4 hours per week. Every extra hour put toward ZCG takes away from potential full time work. It’s kind of a lose-lose position that way. Put in less time, and it hurts conscientiousness. Put in more and it hurts personally.
And not everyone on ZCG has “content provider” skills, nor should they. The same goes for grantees. I do not want to budget in marketing time and skills to every grant. Let the reviewers review. Let the engineers code. It’s hard enough to get good grant proposals at reasonable prices without extra “demands”.
The kinds of things you’re describing might be a position we’d consider hiring for again, but not now. We’re already strained and having trouble selecting among the choices we have. Remember, we’ve already had a position for partnerships and outreach, and have had to put it on hold, largely for reasons of budgetary constraints.
ZCG is exploring independence ideas, but it’s all dependent on what happens with the Dev Fund. Since ZCG is administered by ZF right now, you can look to ZF transparency reports for financial details.
