Thanks for this, Ollie! Having read the 80k article but still felt a bit fuzzy about ‘how to become a good grantmaker,’ this post makes a lot of sense to me. It updates me away from grantmaking being a general skill and more towards it being domain-specific, which seems right considering my prior was that it was just a very general skillset (equivalent to having really good judgment).

Thanks! Yes, that update is actually a very succinct way of summarising the post!
