A free, searchable record of 7,777 grants awarded since 2004 by what was Carnegie Corporation of New York and is now the Andrew Carnegie Foundation. Each record shows the grantee, the amount, the project description, the date awarded, the duration and the funding programme — National Democracy, National Education, International, Libraries, or Special Initiatives — with the geographic area served on newer entries. Filterable by year, programme and grantee, with every grant to one organisation viewable together.
Why I recommend it: This is one of the most useful free tools a nonprofit or grant-seeker has, and almost nobody uses it. Look up organizations doing work like yours and read the amounts, durations and project wording — it shows you what this funder actually pays for and in what language, which is better preparation than any grant-writing course. Two limits: it is a record of past decisions, not an open call, so it tells you nothing about what is currently accepting applications; and grants before 2004 are only in the archives. The foundation renamed itself in 2026, so older references you find elsewhere will say Carnegie Corporation of New York.
Gates Foundation press release announcing a five-year partnership of 60 signatories — frontier AI labs, researchers, companies, governments, community organizations, and philanthropic groups — to expand AI access across languages and voices.
Why I recommend it: A commitment announcement, not an outcome report. Read it for who has signed on and what they say they will do; the hard part is whether the resulting models and data actually serve the communities named.
An 11 September 2026 announcement post on the Effective Altruism Forum, by Manifund's Austin, saying Caroline Ellison started a work trial on 13 July and moved to a full-time role on 10 August, working on their funding platform and on research into directing philanthropic money. Free to read; heavily debated in the comments.
Why I recommend it: Filed as a primary document, not an endorsement. Caroline Ellison was a central figure in the collapse of FTX and served a prison sentence for fraud; this is the hiring organization's own framing of taking her on. It is worth reading alongside the comment thread, which was strongly negative at the time I added it, if you want to see how a movement argues in public about who it lets back in.
