The Cross-Cause Fund (CCF) is an expert-managed cause-neutral fund. It is run by Rethink Priorities' cross-cause fund team, which is composed of members of its Leadership and Executive Team, Worldview Investigation Team, and Interdisciplinary Research Team.
It was launched in May 2026 as a fund explicitly aimed at full impartiality (across all cause areas)[1] — at a time when, per RP's own analysis, only 2% of EA prioritization resources were allocated to cross-cause prioritization, an area RP describes as historically underdeveloped in effective giving.
This sentence from the CCF website offers a good summary of the goal and intent:
We start from the question of where a marginal dollar is likely to do the most good across all cause areas we cover, and we allocate accordingly.
