New AI safety funding source for people raising awareness about AI risk or advocating for a pause

We are offering grants to individuals and groups focused on promoting two critical objectives:

  • Raising awareness about AI-related x-risks or s-risks.

  • Advocating for a pause in AI development until we can ensure it is safe.


What we fund:
We are seeking people with a demonstrated track record in any of the following areas:

Online Outreach
We are interested in people who can create high-impact content and outreach efforts, including:

  • Video Production – Engaging, high-visibility videos.

  • Social Media Outreach – Proven success in reaching a broad audience and driving discussions on these vital issues.


Protest Organization
We are looking for organizers who can quickly mobilize and coordinate large groups of people, repeatedly. If you have experience organizing frequent, high-impact protests or rallies with clear objectives and outcomes, we want to hear from you.

What we look for:

  • Demonstrated reach. You already command attention and can show metrics (views, shares, turnout, media hits, news coverage).

  • Speed and volume. You ship quickly and often—no slow‑burn projects.

  • Cost‑effectiveness. Grant amounts scale with your track record, and we prioritize applicants who stretch every dollar.


Applications are accepted every 4 months. The next deadline is August 25, 11:59 PM GMT-0, 2025
