Humanity faces existential risks, including war between great powers, natural and engineered pandemics, thermonuclear war, threats from advanced artificial intelligence (AI), and frontier military technologies.
These global catastrophic risks have the potential to kill hundreds of millions, even billions, of people alive today. We can come together – scientists, policymakers, engineers, military leaders, and motivated citizens – to mitigate them; it's happened before.

Wirkungsziele
The Global Catastrophic Risks Fund tackles far-future threats and takes action now to help protect every human being alive today. We find opportunities to support highly impactful and neglected initiatives to reduce the probability of worldwide catastrophes and mitigate their consequences.
Our decision-making is guided by three core values: impact, innovation, and flexibility:
Our decision-making is guided by three core values: impact, innovation, and flexibility:
- To maximise impact, our grant portfolio includes both direct interventions, like funding the development of new crisis communications technology or personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as research and hits-based bets. Hits-based bets are initiatives where success is less certain, but where there is potential to improve many more lives if successful.
- We are committed to innovation, including developing new and better approaches to grantmaking, and providing seed funding for novel projects
- We maintain flexibility to respond rapidly to emerging crises and windows of opportunity. We work with networks of domain experts, trusted partners, and government decision-makers to identify new opportunities, and deploy funds in the most effective ways.
