Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
See Form 990, Part I, Line 1.
Activities or mission (Part I)
The organization's mission is to empower exceptional students to understand and improve the future by developing their analytical reasoning skills. Through fellowship programs, the organization aims to help students mitigate cognitive biases, build accurate beliefs, and apply evidence-based tools to address global challenges like poverty, existential risks, advanced AI risks, and economic reform. The core goal is to equip thoughtful young people with the ambition, community, and resources to discover and implement solutions to broken parts of our civilization.

In 2024, the organization continued its commitment to supporting prior scholarship awardees by disbursing funds to recipients who submitted requests for scholarship disbursement. These funds were designated for approved academic or professional development expenses, allowing the organization to maintain ongoing support for its fellows' educational and career growth. Note, these disbursements correspond to scholarship awards that were booked at net present value on prior returns. As such, these disbursements reduced the scholarship payable account and did not constitute a new expense in 2024.
Expenses $688,087
-
In 2024, the organization awarded a strategic grant to a Swiss-based nonprofit to support the safe advancement of science and technology while reducing global risks to the future progress of civilization.

The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
