The EA Funds Long-Term Future Fund is a professionally managed philanthropic fund which aims to positively influence the long-term trajectory of civilisation.

Their current focus is on making grants that address global catastrophic risks, especially potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence and pandemics. They also seek to promote, implement, and advocate for longtermist ideas, and to otherwise increase the likelihood that future generations will flourish.

The Fund is managed by a team led by Asya Bergal, a Program Associate at Open Philanthropy. The team comprises technical and policy researchers, and is advised by philanthropists and grantmakers from Open Philanthropy and the Centre for Effective Altruism, among others.

So far, the Long-Term Future Fund has recommended several million dollars' worth of grants to a range of people and organisations. Broadly speaking, they support:

• Projects that directly contribute to reducing existential risks through technical research, policy analysis, advocacy, and/or demonstration projects

• Training for researchers or practitioners who work to mitigate existential risks

• Work that helps with relevant recruitment efforts or infrastructure for people working on longtermist projects

• Projects that promote long-term thinking
