Government is among the last people who I'd trust to define what "good" should be funded.

That's what non-profits are. But they end up getting overly complicated, and for some reason, almost no one feels exited about starting them.

Nah I'm not talking non profits. Just personal projects really that aim to do some good could even be that some old dude decides he want to pick up trash 8hours a day Another could be a student that wants to develop an educational game

I think more rich people could offer grants like that, but that the government would be terrible about giving out money & it would quickly be abused. Banks also offer loans to people to start businesses, which survive by fulfilling other people's preferences.

What is the incentive for rich people to give out their money, other than altruism? There ain't none, unless it's a return on investment thing, which is a big burden for the money-receiver. You don't think the benefits of the Gov program would outweigh the costs?
