This is a philanthropic fund page focused on international aid policy, not AI safety. It is tangentially relevant only insofar as effective altruism-adjacent funders like Good Ventures also fund AI safety work, but the content itself concerns global health and development aid.

 International aid has helped to save millions of lives, reduce poverty, and increase prosperity over the past century. Despite these advances, nearly 10% of the world’s population still lives in extreme poverty.

 We support efforts to protect aid levels and steer aid toward more cost-effective interventions and approaches. Recent declines in aid from many donor countries make this work both more important and more tractable. Examples include:

 
 Avoiding cuts to aid budgets and, where possible, increasing them. For example, we fund efforts to grow aid support across the political spectrum, including funding the Joep Lange Institute’s work with emerging donors in Eastern Europe and South America, and right-of-center aid advocates in the U.S. and Europe.

 Increasing funding to especially impactful programs, such as The Global Fund and global vaccine partnerships like Gavi and CEPI . We often support non-traditional actors to advocate for these programs, such as the Japanese youth advocacy incubator PoliPoli. 

 Improving efficiency in existing programs, such as the Clinton Health Access Initiative ’s work to help aid agencies and their government partners prioritize where to deploy health resources and programs.

 Seeding ideas about novel approaches, such as the Center for Global Development ’s work to develop high-impact and politically tractable new ideas.

 Supporting national and multilateral aid agencies with resources they might not otherwise access directly, such as technical consultants who can help agencies to improve program effectiveness.

 How To Increase Impact in a Time of Decreasing Aid
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 The United States has budgeted a 36 percent decrease in foreign aid, and other Western countries are also making significant cuts. As a result, donors, philanthropists, and low- and middle-income countries need to simplify and prioritize their contributions and goals to ensure their collective efforts make the most impact.
