An effective-altruist grantmaking platform that houses the new Transformative AI Fund.
Background
EA Funds replaced the closing LTFF with a distinct AI-focused fund and a new full-time team. The launch retains an accessible route for individuals and small organizations seeking seed funding. CEA houses the new fund; it is not simply the old LTFF with a new name.

What the records show
From the investigation
The people connect the institutions
The education funding is specific too. EA Funds’ ledger , which returns CSV, lists one joint $394,968 grant to Dan Lahav and Sella Nevo in the third quarter of 2022 for an online course about pursuing high-impact work. It does not identify the course or receiving organization, so the map keeps the grant attached to its named recipients.

The safeguards deserve the same specificity. EA Funds' published conflict policy grades recusals by severity but permits carefully considered exceptions; public disclosure of recusals is optional. Separately, on July 22 Habryka said a resolution correcting Lightcone's board-removal arrangements had been drafted but remained unsigned, and publicly committed to treating the board as able to remove him. That statement establishes an unresolved step on that date; the signed instrument would establish what followed. EA Funds policy , dated governance discussion
