Longview Philanthropy (operating under the “Longview Philanthropy” name across two legal entities in the US and UK) is a philanthropic advisory and grantmaking organization focused on reducing global catastrophic risks—especially risks from advanced artificial intelligence. Longview describes its service as expert-led and research-driven, providing bespoke strategies to donors, including expert-vetted grant recommendations and grant outcome reporting.
On the grantmaking side, Longview runs programs that support interventions aimed at making advanced AI safer and more beneficial, alongside nuclear weapons risk reduction; it also runs multiple “fund” vehicles to pool or delegate donor decisions. Longview’s AI grantmaking work is structured around funding technical research, policy development, and field-building, with additional special-purpose grantmaking opportunities posted as RFPs (e.g., power-concentration risk and “digital minds”). Institutionally, Longview positions itself as a “grant recommender” and advisor to major philanthropists, and it publicly describes grant investigation and monitoring practices. It also operates a public, cross-cause pooled fund (the Emerging Challenges Fund) that it later announced it would close to new donations, while continuing to manage disbursements for donations already in progress through a specified date.
