Executive summary: Rethink Priorities seeks additional funding to continue and expand its high-impact research and implementation work across areas like animal welfare, global health, AI safety, and worldview investigations in 2025.
Key points:
Individual donors are crucial for enabling RP’s most innovative and neglected work, as large funders often wait for more developed ideas.
RP has specific funding needs in animal welfare ($920,000), global health, surveys/data analysis, and worldview investigations to maintain current work and pursue new projects.
Key 2025 priorities include advancing invertebrate welfare research, improving global health grantmaking effectiveness, and expanding cross-cause cost-effectiveness modeling.
Recent funding changes, like Good Ventures exiting farmed invertebrate grantmaking, pose challenges to sustaining some of RP’s work.
Additional funding would allow RP to pursue early-stage research, provide subsidized support to smaller organizations, and broaden its audience reach.
Donations of $1,000-$10,000 from individuals can directly shape which innovative programs move forward, while larger gifts of $50,000+ could determine if entire promising programs launch or continue.
