BERI is an independent 501(c)(3) public charity with a mission to improve human civilization's long-term prospects for survival and flourishing. We're a small, fully remote team supporting research, policy work, and educational initiatives that advance this mission — currently with a focus on existential risk reduction and AI safety.
We handle the operational complexity that slows down important work. Through university collaborations and fiscally sponsored projects, we provide financial management, HR, grant administration, compliance support, and more, enabling teams to focus entirely on their mission-critical work rather than admin and paperwork.
Reducing existential risk requires a thriving ecosystem of researchers, non-profits, think tanks, philanthropists, and other collaborators. BERI serves as the operational hub in this ecosystem by enabling smooth deployment of resources, identifying and solving shared challenges, and supporting neglected projects so that the field can move faster and farther together.
