What we’ll fund

Abstract

This document outlines a program that aims to fund projects which have a significant and positive impact on the long-term future of humanity. The program is open to a wide range of projects, from research papers to blog posts to organized events, and emphasizes the importance of long-term outcomes and the potential for projects to address global challenges. The program utilizes a (reverse) auction mechanism to determine the funding amount for each project, with prices based on the received offers. Examples of projects that would be eligible for funding include research in fields such as social sciences, existential risk, and global challenges, as well as initiatives that increase the collective understanding, capabilities, institutions, or benevolence of society. The program emphasizes the importance of evaluating projects based on their potential for long-term impact, rather than solely on their immediate benefits. – AI-generated abstract.
