Where can I find the opposite: join a community of funders, which already has the filtering and application process figured out? There are a lot of us who’d love to help others get started, but you don’t want to have thousands of different applications, all with slightly different requirements.

https://twitter.com/MolochDAO. This is crypto based, but exactly your idea. A smart contract based way to join a group of funders who vote on funding proposals that are brought to them.
I agree! I'd love to put a platform like this together but since I lack connections I would probably have a hard time finding funders that would use it.
Don’t let that stop you. Cold contacting + a good Show HN would be enough to kickstart it. It will just be work.
If open source quantum computing is your thing then https://unitary.fund/ could use help supporting and mentoring projects. We're domain specific, but this might be a model others can follow.
Wow, it's really great that there is demand from both sides.
Isn't this how every non-profit works already? You just help them with a donation, they filter and figure out projects.
Pioneer.app have made huge strides in this regard. You can watch their livestreams and mail the founders afterwards.
What would be your expectations from funded projects? % of stock, some reward later,etc?
Indiegogo and kickstarter?
