Providing a programming bootcamp to members of the Effective Altruism community could be a way of assisting struggling community members whilst avoiding the issues inherent with directly providing cash assistence. It could also allow communities members to accelerate their career progression.
Notes: See the comments here for some of the issues with giving cash.
I suspect that the impact of this would be larger than it first appears as a) talented people generally want to be part of a community where people are successful b) if community members are struggling then that takes up the time of other community members who try to help them.
I think funding programming bootcamps is a great idea (if anyone needs it) and I intend to fund the first 3 people who’ll ask me even just to see how it goes.

Most proper bootcamps are very expensive, like about that kind of rate I’d guess.
