What seem to be the most cost effective ways to explain and possibly spread the ideas and principles of effective altruism, according to your experience as fund managers? Are there some models that seem to work in many contexts/at scale or do these projects depend heavily on the performance/talent of the individual grantees and the context?

I think the performance/talent of grantees and context is extremely important.
That said, some programs that I am excited about that I believe many EAs are a good fit for:
University EA groups, particularly ones at top universities
Field-specific retreats/workshops/boot camps etc.
Career advising calls and other career-focused content
Writing high-quality blog posts
Some projects I have seen work well in the past, but I think they are a bad fit for most people:
Youtube channels
Mass media comms (like writing an op-ed in a popular newspaper)
