I am grateful to SBF and all the FTX Future Fund team and donors, and especially the people who made the Regrantor Program happen.
I estimate ~70% chance I wouldn’t have begun work on Radio Bostrom or The Derek Parfit Archive if I didn’t know I could probably secure funding from a regrantor with an hour or two of work and 1-3 days of calendar time.
It was also great that when I ran into people I thought would be worth funding, it was super easy to ask them to write a one pager and then share it with regrantors I thought might be keen to recommend a grant. I did this three times over the past couple months and all three were funded within days.
Generally I’m finding the existence of the Regrantor Program incredibly enabling while I’m thinking about small pilot projects I might take a crack at, or bumping into cool people who I might want to help. I hope it continues in some form!

That’s really cool to hear! Excited about your work!
