What grantmaking.ai does
grantmaking.ai is an open platform to discover, evaluate, and fund high-impact AI safety work. It aims to build “grantmaking infrastructure” the organization says the AI safety ecosystem is missing: a public directory and live funding-status layer for small, time-sensitive opportunities, plus a “signal layer” that makes community and reviewer input reusable instead of trapped in private messages. The platform’s launch was kicked off with a $1M grant round intended to fund work that reduces x-risk from AI, using rolling review and fiscal sponsorship through Manifund. The platform also describes that it draws live grant data from Manifund, the Long-Term Future Fund (via EA Funds), the Survival and Flourishing Fund, and Coefficient Giving, and that it aggregates organization/person/project information from public sources (including AISafety.com), filtering for relevance to AI x-risk. Overall, grantmaking.ai positions itself as a coordination layer for funders and grantees—seeking to make current opportunities legible, traceable, and easier to act on without waiting for stale recommendations.
