Coefficient Giving and Longview Philanthropy often write about their grantmaking decisions (although not in as much detail as I’d like). I tend to have some pretty big disagreements with them, but they’re still worth reading.
Most reasoning on grantmaking/donations happens in private, so there’s not a whole lot to read. If you broaden the question to writings on general strategy (not just donations), there’s a ton of stuff worth reading. I will just link two that align best with my personal views:
No Winners – Q&A on why an international halt on AI development should be the goal
A Narrow Path – ControlAI’s long-term plan for avoiding extinction
Since I’m biased on the matter, I will start by linking the posts I’ve written:
Where I Am Donating in 2024 – see the comments too, there were some disagreements with my reasoning
AI Safety Landscape & Strategic Gaps
Where I Am Donating in 2025
Eric Neyman and Zach Stein-Perlman write recommendations on AI risk advocacy, most of their work is non-public but Eric wrote Consider donating to Alex Bores, author of the RAISE Act.
Zvi wrote The Big Nonprofits Post [2024] and 2025. He’s a grantmaker for SFF which is my favorite of the big grantmakers.
