AI Safety Funding

AI Safety Funding is a Substack newsletter that launched in December 2025 as one of several newsletters operated by AISafety.com, a volunteer-run resource hub for the AI safety community. The newsletter's purpose is to surface newly announced funding opportunities and highlight opportunities with approaching deadlines for individuals and organizations working to reduce existential risk from artificial intelligence.

The newsletter is published approximately twice a month and is edited by Bryce E. Robertson. It draws its content from the AISafety.com/funding directory, a regularly updated list of over 60 funding sources spanning grant programs, fellowships, incubators, and venture capital. Issues cover a wide range of funders including the Survival and Flourishing Fund, Coefficient Giving, the Long-Term Future Fund, the Future of Life Institute, and emerging sources such as new philanthropic foundations and AI-focused venture funds.

AISafety.com itself is led by project lead Søren Elverlin and maintained by a global team of volunteers and professionals who believe AI poses a grave risk of extinction to humanity. The organization has no stated financial motivations and operates under a Creative Commons license. The AI Safety Funding newsletter is still in early development and its exact format continues to evolve based on reader feedback. As of early 2026, it has hundreds of subscribers.
