Set up at least one EA fund that uses the quadratic funding mechanism combined with a minimal vetting process to ensure that all donation recipients are aligned with EA.
How this could work:
Users can nominate organizations/projects to be included in the quadratic funding pool.
Admins vet donation candidates against a minimal set of criteria to ensure quality, e.g. “Does this project clear a bar for cost-effectiveness according to a defined value system?”
Approved projects are displayed on the website with estimates of cost-effectiveness w.r.t. relevant outcomes.
Users donate money to any project in the pool that they want, and their donations are matched according to the QF mechanism every month or quarter.
I have thought of it but it wasn’t a priority for me at the time.
Gitcoin has retired their original grants platform, but they’re replacing it with a new decentralized grants protocol that anyone can use, which will launch in early Q2, 2023. I would like to wait until then to use that.

This dovetails with increasing diversity of moral views in EA.
Have you considered applying for funding for running one?
