The EA Infrastructure Fund has historically attempted to make strategic grants to incubate and grow projects that attempt to use reason and evidence to do as much good as possible.
These include meta-charities that fundraise for highly effective charities doing direct work on important problems, research organizations that improve our understanding of how to do good more effectively, and projects that promote principles of effective altruism in contexts like academia. The EA Infrastructure Fund was formerly named the Effective Altruism Meta Fund.
The Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund recommends grants that aim to improve the work of projects that use the principles of effective altruism, by increasing their access to talent, capital, and knowledge.
While the other three Funds support direct work on various causes, this Fund supports work that could multiply the impact of direct work, including projects that provide intellectual infrastructure for the effective altruism community, run events, disseminate information, or fundraise for effective charities.
This will be achieved by supporting projects that: Directly increase the number of people who are exposed to principles of effective altruism, or develop, refine or present such principles Support the recruitment of talented people who can use their skills to make progress on important problems Aim to build a global community of people who use principles of effective altruism as a core part of their decision-making process when deciding how they can have a positive impact on the world Conduct research into prioritizing between or within different cause areas Raise funds or otherwise support other highly-effective projects Improve community health by promoting healthy norms for interaction and discourse, or assist in resolving grievances This includes a broad range of projects in global wellbeing (including animal welfare), longtermism, as well as cause-general work.

‘Infrastructure’ refers to the idea that creating additional resources and support to projects aiming to improve the world can multiply this impact. Donating to improve the infrastructure available to effective projects (instead of to the projects carrying out this work directly) is sometimes called 'meta charity'.
Three of the best opportunities to multiply impact (of which we are currently aware) are through improving the quality and quantity of talent, information and capital available to solve the world’s biggest problems.
Why you might choose not to donate to this fund 01 You don’t agree with the rationale for the Fund, or the views of the Fund management team 02 You have concerns about conflicts of interest or grantmaker independence The main reason you might choose not to donate to this fund is if you do not agree with the views of the fund management team.
For example, you may not be convinced of the arguments in favour of supporting meta charities, or you may want to donate only to a select subset of meta charities. In particular, you may prefer that your money go directly toward helping others, with as little ambiguity as possible.

On May 29, 2026, OMB and 41 agencies proposed the most consequential rewrite of the Uniform Guidance in a decade — pre-issuance political review of every discretionary award, near-unlimited termination authority, E-Verify mandates, domestic-records rules, and new activity prohibitions. Comments close July 13; the final rule takes effect October 1 for FY2027 awards. Here is what actually changes, who is exposed, and the compliance posture recipients need now.

Comments close July 13, 2026; the rule takes effect October 1. Here is what actually changes for nonprofits, universities, and state and local governments, why the termination language is the part to read twice, and how to prepare before the fall.
Read articleOn June 1, 2026, DARPA and the National Science Foundation jointly released the AI Forge initiative — a university-only forum, administered by a nonprofit launching summer 2026, that will fund Project Ventures of roughly $750,000 to $3 million over one-year terms in three thrust areas: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on SAM.gov closes June 22 at 5pm ET and is restricted to U.S. universities and military service academies, one authorized submission per institution. Intellectual property is expected to be shared across forum participants, preferably through open-source licensing. This is the most significant joint DARPA-NSF research vehicle in a decade, and it is structured to bypass the frontier-lab model entirely.
