TL;DR
NOVAH (No Violence At Home) was incubated by Charity Entrepreneurship (now Ambitious Impact) in 2024 to test a promising idea: preventing intimate partner violence through edutainment, in our case a serialised radio drama. Over the past two years we have produced and aired two seasons in Rwanda.
We are currently evaluating our second season through a randomized controlled trial with 2,400 couples in Rwanda in partnership wi...
TL;DR
* The Long-Term Future Fund is closing down, and EA Funds is launching the Transformative AI Fund with a new full-time team.
* The fund's primary focus is technical AI safety and AI governance (including post-AGI governance), as well as supporting fields such as field-building and forecasting. We'll also consider non-GCR implications of transformative AI such as flourishing futures and digital...
The current Long Term Future Fund (LTFF) fund managers and I have decided to step back from our work on the LTFF. Because we believe LTFF donors trusted the fund managers to ensure that the funds would be used in line with the purposes of their donation, we've decided the right move is to close the fund.
While LTFF is closing, note that EA Funds has launched a new fund...
I think that Coefficient Giving’s decision to donate more money to GiveWell is a bad one and I would like to see more discussion of its pros and cons as well as any resources folks have that explain why CG made this decision.
The short form of why I think this is a bad call is that I think that for a wide range of beliefs on other issues (AI, Bio Sec, US Democracy, Reproductive Tech, emerging farming tech) the 10 year expected return on donations is much higher than in global health. Maybe this has already been talked to death but I’d like to see a discussion on it and if anyone has resources to past arguments I’d love to see them.
Moskovitz confirmed that they are "surging budgets in 2026 across all categories"

I expect (most of?) their grantmaking in other areas will be less public, but unprecedentedly massive.
E.g. Dustin Moskovitz is personally aiming to donate ~$5M to Lightcone Commons
Thanks for that link, it’s good to hear that they are surging across all categories.
cG has a lot more money to give away than this, due to growth in Dustin's portfolio + pending Anthropic etc money, so it's not clear that the 1B commitment trades off much against all those other causes you listed.
That is good to know, I got a bit of sticker shock from the size of the increase. If in fact it is not trading off against other causes that makes me much less opposed to it. I can imagine an argument for Give Well as a good place to put large amounts of money that would be difficult to use well in the areas I listed, I just assumed it was trading off against those areas. Does CG publish an overview of all the money they have given in a year?
They used to as OP, but as cG they now only feature selected grants on individual Funds pages. https://www.eagrantsdatabase.org/ is your best one-stop shop at the moment.
Hey AI,vbiosec and American democracy makes sense but why a 10 year windowreproductive tech and emergingg farming tech?
I think these are underfunded and have great potential. I am also pretty pessimistic about global health funding so my bar is low for what tops it.
cG has written about this: https://coefficientgiving.org/research/worldview-diversification/
That’s helpful, do you know if they give any public details on how they split their money across the different worldviews?
