Who Funds Us

Professional Volunteering

Since its foundation in July 2024 and until SFF's February 2025 donation, the Coalition operated entirely on a volunteer basis.

We are very proud of the astounding progress we have made. With only one full-time volunteer staff member, we still managed to catalyze over 1,500 hours of volunteer work from our community, expand from six founding NGO partners to ten, and add over 25 exceptional team members and advisors.

We launched the Coalition on December 18, 2025, via an Open Call for a Baruch Plan for AI. This was accompanied by a detailed 90-page Case for a Coalition for a Baruch Plan for AI (v. 1), featuring 22 exceptional contributors, and an explanatory video.

Some team members and advisors have contributed at considerable financial and personal costs, demonstrating exceptional dedication, sacrifice and frugality. Here are all those who so far have contributed pro-bono 20 hours or more to the Coalition:

  • Rufo Guerreschi, 950 hours

  • Felix De Simone, 130 hours,

  • Joep Meindertsma, 130 hours
