Why we're building this

The ecosystem is about to receive billions. It isn't ready.

Dozens of new funders are about to deploy billions into AI safety. The current system wasn't built for them.

Discovery is insider-heavy

Good opportunities and honest takes on them are still mostly passed around through private networks.

Due diligence gets repeated

Every donor rebuilds the same picture. Every grantee re-answers the same questions.

Funding status is unclear

It's hard to tell who is actively fundraising, what their runway looks like, or whether a round is already close to full.

Smaller grants get missed

Projects asking for <$50K are often too small for larger funds and too hard to discover casually.

We're building the coordination layer the ecosystem needs: comprehensive public data, living funding status, and trusted signal — all in one place.

What's in the database

A growing public map of AI safety funding opportunities.

Here's a preview of the 454 organizations and 1,769 grants from our broader database.

Existential Risk Observatory

$5K–$50K grantsFocused on existential AI safetyInitial decisions in weeks

We're kicking off the platform with a $1M grant round for existential AI safety work, distributed in partnership with Manifund.

Application process, reviewer panel, and timeline coming soon — sign up to get notified.

Not fundraising right now? We still want your profile in the database! We're building the comprehensive AI safety database — so when you do need funding, your profile is already there, already current, already visible to every funder.

Step 1

Find or create your profile

We'll start with public information where we can, so you're not always beginning from a blank page.

Step 2

Add the context funders need

Claim the profile, fix anything outdated, and add the details funders can't easily see elsewhere.

Step 3

Stay discoverable to funders

grantmaking.ai

We're building a public coordination layer for AI safety funding — so donors can move faster, grantees can stay visible, and the ecosystem can share more of its knowledge.
