Hi @joey and @MCF - just wanted to point out that on more than one occasion when I've been reviewing someone's grant proposal, they thought "clear passes" in the "what do we mean by meta?" section meant something like "things we'd pass on funding"/"things we wouldn't consider funding" rather than "things which pass our test for fundability/things we defs want to fund". Maybe not a huge issue but probably worth making a small edit for clarity.
Glad that this exists - I was worried about the lack of fiscal sponsors/ops-support orgs available in the EA ecosystem post-FTX crash.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but: why are two of the three people working on this project (Sparkwell) also working on a different but very similar project (ImpactOps)? (e.g. why would someone approach one org over another?). Thanks
so im a fool because you betrayed my trust? im a fool for holding what you say with complete sincerity? i’m not the fool, you are

Hi - thanks for writing this/thinking about it - I feel like it's very "old school EA" and maybe we don't see/do enough of this type of investigation anymore on the forum ?
I want to note that I think this post would be improved quite a bit by having a more defined "what's the issue/how is this bad?" type section - I had to read it twice to find that info, and I feel like it could be expanded-upon
