Thank you for this and hope this will generate more discussion.
Have you considered the role technology, especially AI can play in this? Can some of what regrantors do be replaced or supplemented? AI is capable of processing large amounts of data and doing it on a ongoing basis, something that can be very, if not prohibitively costly for current donors and regrantors, especially at smaller scale. It can help achieve much more granular allocation: smaller projects and initiatives, individual needs, continuous rather than cyclical donations.
Shortening the distance between the donor and the ultimate beneficially can help emotions and ego driven giving become more effective. Perhaps a limited gain for a donor like yourself, but potentially a huge impact overall.
I’ve been working on a small project in that space, aiming to create a layer Ai agents can apply themselves to to identify, assess and donate potential recipients. zooid.fund would be interested to know what you think
