Organizer resources behind the Global Call for AI Red Lines

Observed 2026-09-09. Bounded organizer-funding slice; primary public records and organizer self-reports. This file contains proposed relations only; no canonical case changes. Web-reader text was inspected unless an access note says otherwise. No source originals are retained alongside this file.

The strongest financial connection is a shared intermediary: Effektiv Spenden reports supporting both CeSIA and The Future Society after Longview Philanthropy recommendations. These are organizational funding records. A separate CeSIA solicitation explicitly budgets Red Lines diplomatic follow-through. No inspected record establishes a paid, campaign-restricted grant, the launch's total cost, or donor authority over its wording.

CeSIA. Its [legal notice](http[local research file] section 1, identifies the publisher as Centre pour la Sécurité de l'Intelligence Artificielle, an association loi 1901, RNA W751277787. This is its own legal-identity statement, not an independently acquired RNA registry certificate. It does not establish which entity received every earlier grant.

The Future Society. Its [overview](http[local research file] “Who We Are” and “Transparency,” says it became a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) in 2016. SFF identifies the receiving charity as The Future Society, Inc. The overview describes philanthropic contributions plus donations and service contracts involving governments, intergovernmental and private organizations. Its statement that contributors receive no substantial return benefit uses tax terminology; it does not disclose grant approval, publication-clearance, veto or ownership clauses. No such contractual rights were found in the inspected sources.

The [2024–2025 Impact Report](http[local research file] cover dated April 2026, identifies Red Lines as co-led with CHAI and CeSIA (PDF6). Financial summaries are PDF7–8: 2024 revenue $3,406,697, expenses $1,927,009 and closing net assets $3,630,507; 2025 revenue $1,237,109, expenses $2,854,677 and net assets $2,081,163. The 2024 summary is attributed to audited statements; 2025 is explicitly unaudited. The report explains that a two-year grant received in 2024 supported program spending in 2025, without naming that donor, the grant amount, or a Red Lines allocation. These organizational totals must not become the campaign budget. Reading scope: nine-page text, especially PDF2,6–8; report graphics were not independently visually inspected.

Reported transfers and grant recommendations

Primary record and inspected locator Amount / period / state Precise relation and limit
Effektiv Spenden, [H1/2024 fund update](http[local research file] opening paragraphs and “CeSIA”; [fund history](http[local research file] €195,000 collected in Germany and Switzerland during H1/2024; fund history says forwarded September 2024 Effektiv Spenden reports forwarding the fund's entire H1 allocation to CeSIA following Longview's recommendation. The update describes research, teaching, public engagement and roundtables. Ségerie's attributed acknowledgment says support enabled hiring. No Red Lines restriction or project-by-project spending appears.
Effektiv Spenden, [H2/2024 fund update](http[local research file] allocation introduction and “The Future Society”; fund history, H2/2024 €114,000: €60,000 from the AI fund plus €54,000 from the future-preservation fund; collections H2/2024, forwarded March 2025 Effektiv Spenden reports supporting TFS following Longview's recommendation. Its rationale concerns AI governance and planned U.S. staffing, not a named Red Lines grant. Do not treat the two fund contributions as two additional €114,000 awards.
SFF [recommendation table](http[local research file] header and SFF-2024 CeSIA row $48,000, 2024 recommendation; source Jaan Tallinn; receiving charity EffiSciences SFF recommended general support of CeSIA through a named receiving charity. This identifies an intermediary; it does not itself disclose a fiscal-sponsorship agreement or confirm disbursement.
Same SFF table, TFS rows $97,000 in 2024; $336,000 in 2025; Jaan Tallinn named source, TFS Inc. receiving charity Separate general-support recommendations, not campaign awards or independently confirmed payments.
Same SFF table, SFF-2023-H2 TFS row $365,000 sourced FLI and $11,000 sourced Jaan Tallinn, respectively Recommended general support. This predates the call and documents a financial relationship with a later partner, without establishing campaign financing or instructions.

SFF amounts above are dollars as displayed; no exchange conversion or sum across currencies was made. The table describes its records as recommendations. CHAI-related general-support entries also exist in that database, but no campaign-specific CHAI award emerged, so that broader funding lane was not expanded.

Campaign-specific solicitation: strong purpose evidence, no payment proof

CeSIA's [“From Nobel Signatures to Binding Red Lines: The 2026 Diplomatic Sprint”](http[local research file] is marked created December 4, 2025. The current page shows “Not funded” and $0 raised on Manifund. It requests $150,000 for Q1–Q2 2026 and estimates roughly $400,000 for twelve months: staff, diplomatic travel, workshops, event organization and professional UN lobbying consultation. The team section lists APCO among advisors/partners; this is not an executed contract or payment record.

The final funding-history answer reports Longview recommended $2 million over two years on December 9, 2025 and explicitly says this was only a recommendation, with no money received yet. That passage necessarily postdates page creation; no update date was visible. Its receipt statement must not become a verified September 2026 bank-balance claim. Nor does placement in this proposal establish that the entire $2 million was restricted to Red Lines. Scope read: complete page, especially project summary, funding-use section and final funding-history answer; embedded budget images not read.

Corroborating disclosures, kept separate from campaign allocation

Charbel-Raphaël Ségerie's [December 20, 2024 announcement](http[local research file] “Funding,” reports grants from Effektiv Spenden, AISTOF, Longview, an unnamed Swedish foundation and SFF. It distinguishes general operations from targeted initiatives without assigning each donor to a category. It specifically attributes some ML4Good bootcamp funding to Erasmus+ and textbook support mainly to Ryan Kidd through Manifund. This gives concrete examples of other projects; it does not justify attributing those funds to Red Lines. Read relevant funding and adjacent activity passages; no amounts supplied there.

CeSIA's current [about page](http[local research file] “They trust us,” identifies the European Commission, ENS, UK AISI, philanthropic organizations and individuals as funders and says it does not accept funding from private AI companies. This is organizational self-report without amounts, periods or campaign allocation. It is not evidence that every supporter is independent of the AI industry, nor a substitute for grant terms.

Access gaps and next records

TFS's organizer-hosted [2024 public Form 990](http[local research file] returned HTTP200, 3,854,546 bytes, 43 pages. SHA-256 of the original bytes read in memory: 0bb2940d980c822f7eeb280a3dd0ba50472dc02709c5d58043df4d3c1990d4be. Those bytes were not retained. Web reader had no text, and sampled pages produced no extractable text. The screenshot bridge did not expose images to this session; an in-memory render handoff failed on a warning/JSON parsing issue. The filing's substantive content was not inspected and is not used for an EIN, contributor or contractual claim. Stop this acquisition branch rather than treating a file title as content.

Longview links a [public 2025 ECF report](http[local research file] The web reader exposed only a loading page; one ordinary public download substitute returned HTML rather than PDF. Its contents remain unread. No authentication, donor-only report request or other access workaround was attempted.

The decisive next records are the Red Lines cost-center ledger and launch/vendor invoices held by TFS/CeSIA finance; CeSIA's December 2025 Longview recommendation letter and resulting executed grant agreement/disbursement schedule held by CeSIA and Longview's grant team; the EffiSciences–CeSIA receiving/sponsorship agreement and transfer ledger; and restricted-grant schedules for TFS's unnamed two-year 2024 grant. These would distinguish funded capacity from campaign expenditure and reveal any approval, reporting, publication or repayment clauses. Their existence and terms have not been established here. No outreach made.

Stopping condition reached: public records establish shared funding intermediaries, reported organizational transfers, general-support recommendations and an explicit campaign follow-through funding request. They do not establish campaign-restricted paid money or donor control of the call.
