Apply for an ACX Grant

Abstract

Scott Alexander, author of the popular blog Astral Codex Ten, announces a grant program that will give out $250,000 of his own money to fund projects that could improve the world. The author states his intention to use an effective altruism framework for grant selection, but is open to projects outside this framework. The program welcomes applications from individuals or teams and allows funding for personal or career development. There is no restriction on the applicant’s background or previous work experience. The grant program is an attempt to find and fund “moonshot” projects that may be too small or too speculative to attract funding from traditional sources. The author hopes to supplement his own funding by soliciting additional contributions from other individuals or organizations. The grant application process involves completing a fifteen-minute form. – AI-generated abstract.
