New nuclear security grantmaking programme at Longview Philanthropy

Abstract

Longview Philanthropy, where I work, launched a nuclear security grantmaking programme in December 2021.We are hiring a grantmaker to co-lead this programme alongside Carl Robichaud.The co-leads will make grants potentially totalling up to $10 million initially, a figure which could grow substantially if they find or create sufficiently strong opportunities. [Update December 2022: This is now to be determined as we seek new funders for this work.]So far, we have committed a single $1.6 million grant to the Council on Strategic Risks. Future grants will be directed by the programme co-leads.We are also hiring a grantmaker who will work on other existential risks.
