How can we collectively grow our resources to support the long-term flourishing of humanity?

Our Patient Philanthropy Fund addresses a crucial gap: as a society - from the Global North to the Global South - too little is spent on protecting and benefiting future generations. However, we can positively affect the lives of our descendants, and avoid major catastrophes that could destroy their future.

Think of this as an emergency fund for humanity: a savings pot meant to be dipped into when exceptional opportunities appear and funding is needed most.

Was Deine Finanzierung bewirken kann
Contributions into the Patient Philanthropy Fund are invested for long-term gains, initially in a low-fee Global Stock Index Fund. When a critical time, need, or opportunity arises, we step in to make a grant. Taking a patient approach allows us to wait for a point in time when the highest-impact opportunities are available, which may be years, decades, or even centuries ahead.

Wirkungsziele
We're not designed to be a frequent grantmaker; we are primarily an investment account until we reach an extraordinary time and opportunity. 

Until those moments arise, each year we will make small grants at less than 1% of the Fund's size to the best available opportunities we are able to find in that year. These small grants will build up our grant-making infrastructure and track record. Grant decisions will be made by a dedicated management committee, all with a strong network and expertise on how well-timed grant-making can safeguard the future.
