SFF-2022-H1 S-Process recommendations announcement
Survival and Flourishing Fund, 2021
Abstract
The “S-process” refers to a recommendation process used to determine the allocation of grants from a funder to various organizations. This process involves allowing recommenders and funders to simulate counterfactual delegation scenarios using a table of marginal utility functions, and adjust those functions through discussions. The “S-process” is designed to favor funding things that at least one recommender is excited to fund, rather than things that every recommender is excited to fund. The funders retain the right to make grants that the “S-process” did not endorse. A list of recommended grants is provided and includes controversially recommended grants that some recommenders wished to publicly disendorse. – AI-generated abstract.
