Good Ancestor Foundation

Confident Level: High

The principle of ‘a little preparation now can make a huge difference to resilience and robustness in a disaster later, so it’s worth doing even if the disaster is not so likely’ generalizes. Thus, the Good Ancestor Foundation, targeting nuclear war, solar flares, internet and cyber outages, and some AI scenarios and safety work.

A particular focus is archiving data and tools, enhancing synchronization systems and designing a novel emergency satellite system (first one goes up in June) to help with coordination in the face of disasters. They’re also coordinating on hardening critical infrastructure and addressing geopolitical and human rights concerns.

They’ve also given out millions in regrants.

One way I know they make good decisions is they continue to help facilitate the funding for my work, and make that process easy. They have my sincerest thanks. Which also means there is a conflict of interest, so take that into account.
