Notes
[Global Catastrophic Risks Capacity Building] Open Philanthropy recommended two grants totaling $2,960,000 over two years to Lightcone Infrastructure for general support. $2,590,000 of this funding supports LessWrong and exploratory work on new projects. $370,000 represents an "exit grant" for Lightcone’s other work. This follows our September 2022 support and falls within our focus area of growing and empowering the community of people focused on global catastrophic risk reduction.
