Kurzgesagt staff also reviewed this page prior to publication. Open Philanthropy recommended a contract of €2,413,800 ($2,649,936 at the time of conversion) over two years with Kurzgesagt, a YouTube channel and design studio that creates educational videos on a variety of topics, to support the creation of videos on topics relevant to effective altruism and improving humanity’s long-run future. In addition to video creation, Kurzgesagt intends to use this funding to translate existing videos into a number of non-English languages. This project was supported through a contractor agreement.
