Rationale

Rethink Priorities launched a Cross-Cause Fund on May 20, 2026, with an explicit prioritization model allocating 55% of a $200M baseline to Global Catastrophic Risks, including frontier AI safety via Longview Philanthropy's Frontier AI Fund. The org scored 0.7 founder credential (established research institution with multi-year track record in cross-cause prioritization) and 0.7 peer funder signal (existing grants from Longview, GiveWell, and EA Animal Welfare Fund). Stage penalty applies because this is not a founding-round fundraise but an operational fund launch absorbing ongoing philanthropic capital, though the AI-safety thesis match is clean and the model transparently models AI-risk discount factors across all worldviews.

    Email Marcus A. Davis (head of Worldview Investigations at Rethink Priorities, reachable via fund@rethinkpriorities.org or development@rethinkpriorities.org per the post) to request the underlying cost-effectiveness spreadsheet for Longview's Frontier AI Fund, the diminishing-returns curve assumptions for AI safety, and whether the Cross-Cause Fund's AI allocation can accept restricted $5M+ gifts earmarked for frontier safety grantmaking within the next 60 days.
