VC for Charity

We back individuals, projects, and startups working on high-impact initiatives, using the principles of effective altruism to maximize our impact

Submit a Grant Request

Any person, project, or startup can apply for a grant. All grants are unconditional and equity free. Grants can be private, anonymously listed on our site, or publicly listed on our site for external donors to evaluate. Preference is given to members of the effective altruism community.

Apply to Evaluate Grants

A grant evaluator can recommend grants from our central fund. A grant evaluator can also give grants from their personal funds, in effect acting as both an evaluator and a donor. Donations to our central fund can be optionally earmarked for specific grant evaluators to give out.

Our Team

Grantmakers review grant applications on our webstite, and can also reach out to grants to see if they need funding. We recommend filling out our online application to maximize the chance of receiving funding. If you feel a specific individual is a great fit to provide feedback or evaluate a project, the contact information for certain team members is listed below. Please do not attempt to contact many partners at once in an attempt to receive special attention—our team’s time is valuable, and we prefer evaluating grant requests using our streamlined online application process.
