Executive summary: City and national EA groups can have significant impact by supporting talent, incubating projects, and building local infrastructure, with several success stories demonstrating their value.
Key points:
City/national groups primarily create impact by supporting talent to work on top causes.
Secondary impact routes include incubating local groups/projects and building infrastructure.
Success stories include career acceleration, group seeding, and operational support for researchers.
Group leaders themselves often become well-positioned for impactful work.
Local infrastructure (e.g. coworking spaces, fiscal sponsorship) enables focused work on EA projects.
The Community Building Grants program has shown promise, though a comprehensive review is still pending.
