Yeah we’re working on something like this! There are a few logistical and legal details, but I think we can at least make something like this work between legible-to-us grantmakers (from my lights, LTFF, EAIF, OP longtermism, Lightspeed, Manifund, and maybe a few of the European groups like Longview and Effective Giving). Obviously there are still limitations (eg we can’t systematically coordinate with academic groups, government bodies, and individual rich donors), but I think an expectation that longtermist nonprofit grantmakers talk to each other by default would be an improvement over the status quo.
(Note that weaker versions of this already happens, just not very systematically)

The LTFF and one team at Open Phil have done this semi-systematically for about a year. I think that it’s still hard for data protection reasons (and general comms sensitivity reasons) to do this for the majority of applications we receive.
