Founders Pledge’s Funds support effective organizations and promising solutions through actively managed, research-led grantmaking. Their priorities include neglected climate solutions, reducing global catastrophic risks, saving and improving lives through catalytic giving, safeguarding humanity’s long-term future, and cost-effective interventions to reform and replace factory farming.
Dedicated Fund managers, typically members of the Founders Pledge Research team, identify opportunities using original research, philanthropic networks, and consultation with external experts and charity evaluators. The Funds seek to fill urgent funding gaps, seed new initiatives, and shape projects that might otherwise not exist. Although the Funds cover several cause areas, the current invitation for expressions of interest focuses on education and job, entrepreneurship, or agriculture training programs in low- and middle-income countries.
