You could fund people to go to the EA retreat/summit, Good Done Right, CEA’s Weekend Away, etc. who wouldn’t otherwise go. I know someone who did this and it seems to have turned out fairly well so far. I don’t know if they want to be named publicly but I can probably refer people who are interested.
To expand on that a little, the EA summit was expensive enough that I expect the price to turn away most people not already fairly involved in the movement, and that seems like a lost opportunity.
On the other hand, you can start to do this with an order of magnitude less money.

I’ve got empathy for having experienced a bit of a crunch like this last time. I would, or will, do this in the future.
