“Survival and Flourishing Fund (SFF) is a website for organizing the collection and evaluation of applications for donations to organizations concerned with the long-term survival and flourishing of sentient life.”In its own words: survivalandflourishing.fund
Virtual fund that runs the S-Process, an algorithm and recurring meeting procedure through which independent assessors make grant recommendations to funders, chiefly Jaan Tallinn; it is not itself a grantmaker and has organised about $216M in gifts and grants. Grants to for-profits are paid through Survival and Flourishing Corp.
Show detailsHide details
Grant recommendations come out of the S-Process, a recurring algorithm-plus-meeting procedure run once or twice a year in which a rotating group of independent assessors recommend grants to participating funders (chiefly Jaan Tallinn). It also runs faster Speculation Grants, matching pledges, and an Initiative Committee that grants without proposals.
Says it has given about $64M in total
Typical grant $168k ($10k–$775k)
