The Founders Pledge Global Catastrophic Risks Fund (GCR Fund) works to mitigate the most extreme risks to human civilization, including risks from AI, biosecurity and pandemic preparedness, large-scale nuclear war, and great power competition.

Our grant-making is based on the work of the Founders Pledge research team (see our recent in-depth reports on nuclear war and biosecurity. Based on this work, we prioritize high-leverage hits-based interventions, often via policy advocacy.

We also work closely with other funders as well as current and former policymakers to understand the most tractable issues and seize policy windows quickly.
