A funding adviser between major donors and policy organisations
Longview Philanthropy
Longview Philanthropy advises and recommends philanthropic support, including for CeSIA and The Future Society. It appears as a recipient in historical Good Ventures grant data and as the employer of AI programme officer Aidan O’Gara in the September 2026 source read.
The funding evidence
Indexed first-party Good Ventures data records two January 2024 awards totalling USD595,426 and an October general-support award of USD15,162,840. Direct pages redirected or could not be reopened, so these remain indexed award records, not verified receipts. Effektiv Spenden reports support following Longview recommendations. CeSIA separately reported a two-year USD2 million recommendation dated 9 December 2025 and non-receipt at its statement time. Neither that recommendation nor O’Gara’s earlier CAIS affiliation establishes a Longview grant to CAIS or Australian age assurance.

From the investigation
Organizer resources behind the Global Call for AI Red Lines
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.
