Description
The Survival and Flourishing Fund (SFF) is distributing $20–40MM+ in grants across a Main Round and three new Theme Rounds (Climate Change, Animal Welfare, and Human Self-Enhancement & Empowerment) to support organizations working toward the long-term survival and flourishing of sentient life.
- Main Round ($14–28MM): Three tracks — Main, Freedom, and Fairness — with applications due April 22, 2026; recommendations announced September 2026
- Theme Rounds ($2–4MM each): New for 2026, focused on Climate Change, Animal Welfare, and HSEE; require both the standard rolling application and a supplemental application; deadlines run June–July 2026 with recommendations in November 2026
- Eligibility: Open to registered charities and incorporated for-profits (including non-US organizations, with some restrictions); individuals without a fiscal sponsor are not eligible
- Visa/Location: Charities in any country except US-adversarial nations may apply; for-profit funding is confirmed for the US, UK, Canada, and Australia — other for-profits may apply but may face additional open-source or legal requirements
Apply via the SFF Funding Rolling Application; Theme Round applicants must also submit the relevant supplemental application.
