Edit: after watching the EA Global livestream of Kerry Vaughan’s talk about what he plans for the future of the effective altruism community as the director of EA Ventures, it’s my impression he would be very open to being part of a partnership like the one you’re proposing, Paul. I strongly encourage you to reach out to Kerry Vaughan.
Approach EA Ventures about vetting and normalizing direct funding. This could be one institution itself that doesn’t receive funding from the direct funding market, which could generate trust in EA Ventures as an evaluator. It could also serve as a light version of Givewell or GWWC responsible for assessing the viability of individuals. EA Ventures could make clear in reports their assessments are their own opinions, and other donors and donees are by all means free to make their open funding arrangements.
Consider reaching out to EA Ventures to be the second half of the arrangement.
