“SFF Speculation Grants are expedited grants organized by SFF outside of our grant-recommendation process (the S-Process).”In its own words: survivalandflourishing.fund
Expedited SFF grants approved by about 40 individual Speculators, each with a limited budget (typically $400k), outside the main S-Process rounds; each grant is later evaluated in an S-Process round and the Speculator's budget adjusted. Funded by donations from Jaan Tallinn.

Expedited SFF grants for time-sensitive requests, approved by about 40 'Speculators' who each hold a non-binding budget (typically $400k, about $20MM combined) that grows or shrinks based on how later S-Process rounds score their picks. Applicants use the SFF rolling application, which also enters them for the next S-Process round.
Says it gives about $20M (2025)
