The Survival and Flourishing Fund (SFF) supports organizations working on long-term survival and flourishing of sentient life, with a strong focus on AI safety, AI governance, biosecurity, and institutional resilience. Founded by Jaan Tallinn (co-founder of Skype), SFF has distributed approximately $152 million since 2019, with $34.9 million in 2025 alone. The 2026 round is estimated at $20-40 million. SFF uses the S-Process evaluation method involving multiple independent assessors and offers three funding mechanisms: Speculation Grants (rolling basis, smaller amounts for quick-turnaround projects), full S-Process grants (annual competitive round), and Initiative Committee funding. Individual grants range from $10,000 to $4,000,000. Assessors may fund proposals across AI safety, pandemic preparedness, governance, and other existential risk areas.
The Survival and Flourishing Fund (SFF) is a virtual fund organizing grant applications and recommending grants to organizations addressing the long-term survival and flourishing of sentient life. SFF runs main S-Process rounds plus themed rounds, with the 2026 cycle featuring three new themed S-Process rounds in addition to the Main Round. Strong focus on AI safety, AI alignment, biosecurity, existential risk research, longtermist policy, and technical AI governance. Funded organizations include leading AI safety nonprofits and university research groups. Grant recommendations are made via SFF's distinctive S-Process collaborative evaluation. Rolling and round-based application accepted.
NIH's FY2026 budget held steady at $47.2 billion — yet by the end of February the agency had issued roughly 66% fewer competitive grant awards than its FY21–24 average, and by late spring award volume was still running dramatically below historical norms. The cause is not a budget cut. It is a pipeline failure: only 14 Notices of Funding Opportunity published by mid-March versus 756 in all of 2024, a workforce down nearly 20%, funds held by OMB into March, and new political-appointee sign-off on NOFOs. FY25 success rates fell to 17% — the lowest in 30 years — and early-stage investigators dropped to 18.5%. This is the definitive breakdown of what is happening, why the money isn't moving, and the concrete diversification strategy labs need for the next 18 months.
