We’ve launched Project Tailwind, a call for ambitious AI safety initiatives. There are critical, unsolved AI safety problems that no one owns; Project Tailwind is our effort to find founders who will build the institutions to own them. Apply now!
We’ve launched an RFP for Launchpad Funds, an invitation for new or scalable funds that address important problems in global health and wellbeing (GHW). You can read more in a post by GHW Executive Director Otis Reid and Program Director James Snowden.
We also have a variety of other funding opportunities including fellowships, scholarships, support for group organizers, and funding for career development and transition.
Announcements:
A few weeks ago we announced our largest grant ever: $276 million, co-funded with GiveWell, to the Against Malaria Foundation. The grant will pay for bed nets in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where malaria remains one of the leading causes of death for young children.
Amanda Glassman joined Coefficient Giving as Managing Director of Global Health and Development Policy, overseeing our Global Aid Policy and Global Growth funds.
Anna Bershteyn joined Coefficient Giving as our new Managing Director of Science & Global Health R&D. In this role, she’ll lead our grantmaking on research and development of new tools against diseases that disproportionately affect the global poor.
Coefficient Giving is now on Substack! Featuring original writing from staff members across global health and development, farm animal welfare, abundance and growth, AI safety, biosecurity, and other areas.
Hiring:
We’re hiring a Business Immigration Associate to own day-to-day U.S. immigration casework and help build a more resilient, scalable immigration function (deadline September 21).
Emily Oehlsen, CG’s President, wrote that we’re at a critical moment when transformative AI may arrive soon, and described how we’re scaling our work on AI and biosecurity in response.
Kearney Capuano and Melanie Basnak reflected on their first Effective Careers RFP, reporting that a surprising volume and quality of applications led them to fund far more than planned. They’ve awarded about $13 million to 28 organizations helping people transition into high-impact careers.
Danny De La Torre wrote about the behaviors and habits that make a good Chief of Staff.
Andrew Snyder-Beattie made the case that we could solve the vast majority of existential biological risk by ubiquitously deploying simple and cheap countermeasures like PPE, air filters, and UVC.
Matt Clancy reviewed recent research showing that people who live through greater economic growth tend to have more trust in their government, higher support for democracy, and less zero-sum thinking.
