Ideal Applicant

Research institutions or education/technology nonprofits conducting work that advances AI safety or biosecurity, seeking general program support and able to complete a grant inquiry letter.

Good Fit

  • Work is directly related to AI safety, artificial intelligence research, or biosecurity research.
  • Organization can demonstrate research capacity or an academic/technical track record.
  • Willingness to submit a formal letter of inquiry and complete the foundation's inquiry form.
  • Projects that plausibly require general program support rather than tightly restricted project funds.
  • Geographic flexibility, including willingness to be out-of-state or international recipient.

Geography

Broad

In the latest year grants reached eight distinct states/locations including international recipients (England and Prague), with a majority (about 58%) going to organizations in California and no apparent in-state (Texas) grant activity.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The most recent year shows 15 distinct recipients and 14 new grantees, and across three years only one repeating recipient was observed, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.

New Applicants

Broad

Direct evidence of many new recipients in 2024 combined with explicit application instructions (a required inquiry form and letter-of-inquiry submission route) make it plausible that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio.
