Organization and goals
The Center on Long-Term Risk (CLR) is a charity based in London, registered in England and Wales (no. 1195079). It is governed by its constitution and its board of trustees.
In summary, CLR's charitable purposes (set out in full in the constitution) are:
- to advance education about emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, by conducting and publishing research, supporting other researchers through grants, hosting events, and providing coaching, mentoring and scholarships; and
- other charitable purposes the trustees determine, in particular grantmaking.
CLR began as a project of the Swiss charity Effective Altruism Foundation (EAF), which ceased operations in 2025. Our operations moved to an independent UK charity at the end of 2021, so documentation below for 2021 and earlier covers activities carried out as part of EAF.
Our funding comes from individual donors and from institutional donors including Macroscopic Ventures, Open Philanthropy (now Coefficient Giving), the Survival and Flourishing Fund, and Community Foundation Ireland.
