About
Our first year of operation was spent establishing infrastructure for receiving and distributing funds. We began some grant investigations but did not conclude any of them in 2018 and thus did not have any programmatic expenses. Most of our administrative work was conducted by the Berkeley Existential Risk Initiative, the organization we support.
