Funding

There is funding to reimburse ACX meetup expenses, particularly for new groups and ACX Everywhere events. You can use this money for food orders, supplies, venue rentals, etc, generally to a target of ~$10 USD per attendee. To make use of it, use the form to the right or contact me at Skyler@RationalityMeetups.org. If you’re unsure about a planned use of funds and want to check if it would be reimbursable, please reach out to me by email!

For larger meetups or events, we recommend applying for funding from the Long-Term Future Fund (LTFF) or the Effective Altruism Infrastructure Fund (EAIF), to fund your activities over the course of a year or six months. You can apply for funding through LTFF or EAIF here.

You can potentially use funding from LTFF or EAIF to:

• Cover recurring expenses, such as venue rentals, food orders, advertising, supplies, etc.

• Draw a salary from working part-time or full-time on meetups

• Finance large events such as megameetups, conferences, or retreats

Despite the name, EAIF is not exclusively for Effective Altruism groups. They also accept applications from groups centered around LessWrong, Astral Codex Ten, longtermism, and other related topics. I encourage you to err on the side of applying!
