I’ve long thought one of the most impactful ways to drive money toward EA causes is to train grantmakers and get them working at private foundations that are not EA affiliated. Program officers have a lot of influence! Even just having grantmakers that are exposed to EA ideas around cost effectiveness could have a massive positive impact on the world (even if they aren’t going to EA orgs).
Hey Kyle! I get the impression you’ve thought and perhaps talked to people about this a bunch, so I wonder if you’d be open to sharing your sense of how program officers tend to get hired at non-EA foundations? Informal PM is fine!
