It seems that FTX’s Regranting Program could be a great way to scalably distribute funds & build the grantmaker pipeline.
We (Training for Good) are also developing a grantmaker training programme like what James has described here to help build up EA’s grantmaking capacity (which could complement FTX’s Regranting Program nicely). It will likely be an 8 week, part-time programme, with a small pot of “regranting” money for each participant and we’re pretty excited to launch this in the next few months.
In the meantime, we’re looking for 5-10 people to beta test a scaled-down version of this programme (starting at the end of March). The time commitment for this beta test would be ~5 hours per week (~2 hrs reading, ~2 hrs projects, ~1 hr group discussion).

This is such a good idea that I think FTX is already piloting a regranting scheme as a major prong of their Future Fund program!
But it would be cool to build up the pipeline in other more general/systematic ways—maybe with mentorship/fellowships, maybe with more experimental donation designs like donor lotteries and impact certificates, maybe with software that helps people to make EA-style impact estimates.
