Our grants to evidence-backed global health programs have saved over 100,000 lives, and our farm animal welfare grants have improved the lives of over 3 billion animals.

Our goal is to lay the groundwork for thoughtful U.S. governance of AI by building institutional capacity, supporting durable cross-partisan coalitions, and strengthening the organizations best positioned to shape how this technology develops.
Grantmakers in this space can have significant counterfactual impact by helping to seed organizations and sub-fields that wouldn't otherwise exist, driving special projects that wouldn't otherwise happen, and helping organizations scale ambitiously.
In addition to growing our team, we're streamlining our internal processes so that each team member can move with even more speed and ambition than before.
