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.

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.
