Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) funds high-impact, evidence-focused work aimed at reducing global catastrophic risks and improving global health and wellbeing, with a strong emphasis on AI safety, biosecurity, and scalable scientific interventions. It supports policy and governance research, capacity-building for talent pipelines, academic course development, and empirical studies of LLM impacts, typically prioritizing rigorous, measurable projects that could plausibly change large-scale outcomes. Grants are often large, multi-year, and directed to research institutes, academic groups, and organizations that translate technical work into policy or practice.

Makes large, strategic grants (including multi‑year awards and RFP-driven initiatives) focused on research, capacity building, and policy translation; funds academic course development, fellowships, evaluations/benchmarks, and organizations that strengthen talent pipelines. Uses targeted RFPs and proactive sourcing rather than open general-purpose small grants.
Respond to specific RFPs or reach out with rigorously designed proposals that quantify potential societal impact and include strong technical or empirical methods; emphasize scalability, policy relevance, and plans for talent development or capacity building. Be prepared for intensive technical review, request sizes that match demonstrated impact potential, and offer clear metrics and timelines.
