I’ve spoke to half a dozen or so founders within global wellbeing- all are scrambling for non-donor ways of making money or accepting that if their next grant proposal fails they have to shut down / fire most their staff. Nobody mentioned having seen an influx of interest from Anthropic staff, or anyone else, preparing their plans for who to donate to. If anything, there’s fewer donors and less money.
I’d been keen to hear from people in other cause areas on whether they’ve observed any evidence of increased funding ahead.
Yeah, the funding situation in nuclear security is still dire. Depending on how you count, the cuts in US government funding various things that charities may want to make up for were greater than $50 billion per year.
