Selective grantmaker fellowships (in the format of a 6-8 week course) organised by an organisation that’s either focused on upskilling EAs (e.g. Training for Good) or grantmaking specifically. This would almost definitely need to be run by at least one experienced grantmaker for it to be worthwhile.
We (Training for Good) are actually developing a grantmaker training programme like what you’ve described here to help build up EA’s grantmaking capacity. 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). If anyone reading this is interested, feel free to shoot me an email cillian@trainingforgood.com
