About American Security Fund
American Security Fund’s largest recent grant went to The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies: $175,000 in 2025 to further the organization’s mission. That award fits a broader pattern of general mission support to groups working on policy, law, and public debate around technology, security, and ethics. The funder’s stated priorities center on American tech superiority, tech security, human-centered AI, and the links among industry, government, and ethics. Recent grants also show support for organizations outside the core national-security policy ecosystem, including Winning for Women and Georgians for Strong Families, both funded in 2025. The portfolio also includes Wired Human, which suggests interest in human-centered questions in technology, and the Joseph Rainey Center for Public Policy and Hudson Institute Inc., both of which received support to further their missions. Across these awards, the foundation appears to use flexible support rather than tightly project-specific grants, with recipients spanning advocacy, policy research, and convening organizations.
What American Security Fund Funds
One clear theme is policy and legal infrastructure around technology. The foundation gave $175,000 to The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies to further its mission, aligning with an interest in connecting industry, government, and ethics. Another theme is public-policy and civic organizations. In 2025, Winning for Women received $50,000 and Georgians for Strong Families received $50,000, both to further their missions. The grant to Wired Human, $25,000, points to an interest in human-centered technology questions, which overlaps with the funder’s stated focus on human-centered AI and AI ethics and safety. The foundation also supported policy-research institutions, including $25,000 to the Joseph Rainey Center for Public Policy and $5,400 to Hudson Institute Inc., both for general mission support.
