Description
The Survival and Flourishing Fund (SFF) Matching Grants for Fundraising Outside of the S-Process program enables organizations applying through the S-Process to receive matching pledges, where outside donations are matched by SFF funders at a rate chosen by the applicant (e.g., 1:1, 2:1). This mechanism is designed to encourage applicants to diversify their funding sources, engage new donors, and increase total resources raised for impactful projects aligned with SFF’s mission of reducing existential risks and promoting long-term human flourishing. Matching pledges are structured as an alternative or supplement to standard grant recommendations and are awarded as part of S-Process rounds.
