As 2024 draws to a close, we're excited to share that all donations up to $45,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar through our year-end matching grant! This means your impact on advancing critical technologies can be doubled when you give before December 31st.
Thanks to supporters like you, 2024 has been a year of accelerating technological progress at Foresight. We:
Convened 150+ leading experts over 3 days at Vision Weekend Europe to explore paths to progress across bio, nano, neuro, and AI.
Brought together 250+ pioneering researchers and technologists at Vision Weekend USA for three days of breakthrough discussions on existential hope through advanced technologies.
Looking ahead to 2025, we're thrilled to announce our most ambitious initiative yet: The Foresight Grants in Bio, Nano, Neuro. This new program will provide rapid funding to breakthrough projects that often fall through the cracks of traditional funding mechanisms. With grants starting at $10,000, we'll support innovative researchers working across disciplines - from molecular simulation and protein engineering to brain-computer interfaces and AI security.
Why these grants matter: Our community has consistently identified and supported pioneers in transformative technologies. This legacy of recognition - exemplified by our Feynman Prize recipients like David Baker and Fraser Stoddart going on to win Nobel Prizes - shows our ability to spot and nurture groundbreaking work early. With your support, we can continue this tradition of catalyzing critical technological progress.
Three Ways to Support Foresight's Mission:
Make a donation through our platform - remember, your gift will be doubled up to $45,000 thanks to our matching grant!
Contribute cryptocurrency - we accept various cryptocurrencies to support our mission
Schedule a call with us to explore other ways to get involved
If you would like to see our deck or discuss collaboration opportunities, please reach out to niamh@foresight.org. You can also directly support us here.
As a donor, you'll be invited to join our curated gatherings, including our upcoming Vision Weekend Puerto Rico this February 2025. These intimate events bring together exceptional scientists and bold funders to explore flourishing futures enabled by technology.
Your end-of-year gift will have double the impact thanks to our $45,000 matching grant. Don't miss this opportunity to join our community of supporters and help accelerate critical technologies for flourishing futures.
