Executive summary: The Long-Term Future Fund shares examples of grants they narrowly accepted or rejected, illustrating their funding threshold and demonstrating that additional donations would support similar projects focused on AI safety, biosecurity, and related existential risk research.
Key points:
Grant amounts range from $6,000 to $175,000, covering research stipends, PhD work, and community building projects.
Focus areas include AI safety (interpretability, benchmarking, governance), biosecurity (DNA synthesis screening), and international policy frameworks.
Most projects demonstrate strong prior expertise, institutional connections, and concrete track records of impact.
Projects typically combine technical research with practical applications or policy implications.
The fund seeks additional donations to support more projects at this threshold of quality and cost-effectiveness.
