AI Safety Fund - Frontier Model Forum The AI Safety Fund (AISF) is a collaborative $10 million+ initiative established in October 2023 to accelerate and expand the field of AI safety and security research. Support for the fund has come from the founding members of the Frontier Model Forum, including Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI, as well as philanthropic partners such as the Patrick J.
McGovern Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Schmidt Sciences, and Jaan Tallinn. Initially administered by the Meridian Institute , the FMF has managed the fund directly since Meridian announced in June of 2025 that it would be closing its operations.
The fund supports independent research that promotes the responsible development of frontier AI models, minimizes the risk of frontier AI systems to public safety and security, and enables standardized, third-party evaluations of frontier AI capabilities.
The AISF has distributed two rounds of grants: Round One Grantees (November 2024) Round Two Grantees (December 2025) The remaining funds of the AISF will be used to support narrowly-scoped research projects that target urgent bottlenecks to further progress in AI safety and security.
