Longview is not seeking funding, instead they are offering support to large donors, and you can give to their regranting funds, including the Emerging Challenges Fund on catastrophic risks from emerging tech, which focuses non-exclusively on AI.
I had a chance to hear a pitch for them at The Curve and check out their current analysis and donation portfolio. It was a good discussion. There were definitely some areas of disagreement in both decisions and overall philosophy, and I worry they’ll be too drawn to the central and legible (a common issue with such services).
On the plus side, they’re clearly trying, and their portfolio definitely had some good things in it. So I wouldn’t want to depend on them or use them as a sole source if I had the opportunity to do something higher effort, but if I was donating on my own I’d find their analysis useful. If you’re considering relying heavily on them or donating to the funds, I’d look at the fund portfolios in detail and see what you think.
I pointed them to some organizations they hadn’t had a chance to evaluate yet.
They clearly seem open to donations aimed at particular RFPs or goals.
To inquire about their services, contact them at info@longview.org.
