Elevator Pitch
Join us in what may be the highest-leverage AI governance initiative currently underway: persuade a critical mass of key potential influencers of Trump's AI policy to champion a US-China-led global AI treaty — to save humanity from immense safety and concentration of power risks, and positively shape the future for decades to come.

Funding Needs
With only $75,000 in funding so far, we were able to activate 2,100 hours of professional pro-bono work and realize astounding achievements in 2025. We are now seeking $100,000–$400,000 to move to the next stage (and an urgent $10–30k bridge funding).
We have operated at ~$7,500/month, a fraction of typical DC policy NGOs. Every dollar goes to the mission—no fancy offices, no high staff costs. $50 covers a day of research. $250 funds a strategic meeting. Even small recurring donations of $100/month have proven critical during funding crises or bridge phases.
Find here our Roadmap 2026.
$60,000 — Extend and Amplify Extend runway into mid-2026. Add one outreach support staff. Engage part-time consultants to expand and sharpen the Memo. Launch targeted op-eds and podcasts. Fund critical travel.
$150,000 — Building Momentum Sustain twelve months of growth. Hire two part-time staff. Organize closed-door dinners in Washington DC and Mar-a-Lago. Support targeted media framing the treaty as "peace through strength." Expand NGO and think tank partners. Execute extensive second Persuasion Tour.
$400,000 — Ready to 10-50x our impact Transform capacity. Move from one to three full-time staff. Launch highly targeted multi-channel campaign across podcasts, op-eds, and direct outreach. Deepen the scientific and diplomatic scope of Strategic Memo updates timed to each Trump-Xi summit.
An Opportunity to 10-50x Our Impact
The opening political window, our 350-page Strategic Memo, the 85+ direct pathways we developed to Trump's AI policy influencers in the Bay Area and DC, and the 4 Trump-Xi meetings in 2026 position us to 10-50x our impact in months with moderate funding.
The constraint is no longer strategy or positioning—it's operational capacity: 2-3 dedicated hires can easily transform our 350-page arsenal and open pathways into a highly-tailored, high-bandwidth, targeted persuasion campaign.
What Your Donation Gives You
A meaningful stake in humanity's most consequential fight—and membership in a community that refuses to look away.
Partnership in Rare Boldness While others tinker at the margins, we're pursuing the only intervention that could actually work: getting the two superpowers to co-lead a binding global AI treaty. Our 356-page Strategic Memo doesn't hedge—it names the problem, identifies the chokepoint, and proposes a solution. And goes directly to the influencers to get them to pay attention. Few organizations have this courage. Your support keeps it funded.
Extraordinary Impact Per Dollar With ~$7,500/month operating costs, your donation achieves more per dollar than almost any organization in AI governance. No fancy offices, no bloated overhead—every dollar goes directly to persuasion, research, and travel. A $100 donation funds roughly half a day of high-leverage strategic work targeting the people who will actually decide AI's trajectory.
