Only $23K to Go for 2010 Singularity Research Challenge!
February 15th, 2010 –
The 2010 Singularity Research Challenge campaign has been going well, with $77,080 raised so far. Including matching funds, that comes to $154,160 raised for SIAI since we began the Challenge! Thanks to these contributions, SIAI’s continued operations and growth will be ensured for the immediate future. This money will support our staff, the Singularity Summit 2010, our highly successful Visiting Fellows program, all funded grant proposals, and other existential risk-reducing SIAI activity.
Even though we’ve raised a lot so far, we aren’t done yet! Please contribute to help us achieve our goal, and please feel free to get in contact with Anna Salamon at annasalamon at singinst dot org if you are making a large donation to fund a new project. Even if you wish to make a small donation, understand that small donations matter. We appreciate contributions of any size because they show us that you care about the Singularity.
Whether you donate or not, we recommend browsing SIAI’s grant proposals to get a better idea of some of the work we’re doing. You can also review our 2009 accomplishments to see our past record. Half of the funds from this challenge will go to grants, while the other half goes to our general fund, which supports our core staff, including Eliezer Yudkowsky and the organizers of the Singularity Summit 2010. All donations are securely processed through Paypal. You can pay through Paypal using your credit card even if you don’t have a Paypal account. You can also send checks to our P.O. Box, listed here. You can also read an endorsement of SIAI by a prominent utilitarian, or read quotes by our donors in the quotes section.
Donate now, and help bring mankind closer to a positive Singularity.
