Job title: Researcher — Underfunded, High-Leverage Opportunities for a Mid-Size Private Foundation Category: Market Research / Nonprofit & Philanthropy Research Type: Fixed-price · Budget: $2,000 · Duration: 6 weeks · Experience level: Intermediate Overview We’re looking for a curious, detail-oriented researcher to produce a structured, professional research report (~10 pages) identifying underfunded societal challenges where a $3–$5M annual budget could achieve exponential impact. Key Research Question What current critical societal challenges and intervention opportunities are systematically overlooked by conventional private foundations, and where could a $3–$5 million annual budget achieve exponential impact? Context A private foundation is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that supports charitable activities, primarily by making grants to public charities or by running its own programs. Most foundations fund established areas of focus that have been peer reviewed and validated. This creates crowded landscapes in obvious areas while leaving significant gaps elsewhere. For example, cancer research attracts billions annually, while psychedelic therapy for veterans with PTSD remains severely underfunded despite promising results. The most valuable opportunities often exist at problem intersections (Mental Health and AI), in emerging issue areas (male loneliness), or in approaches that don’t fit traditional philanthropic frameworks (funding for innovative business approaches). Objective Identify underfunded problems that conventional foundations systematically overlook. For each opportunity, measure how underfunded it is compared to similar issues, determine whether $5 million could trigger larger funding or systemic change, assess whether proven solutions exist and are ready to scale, and evaluate whether the opportunity matches a mid-sized private foundation’s capabilities. Prioritize interventions that meet the following criteria: “Trending” today: Is the problem top of mind and a growing issue today? Funding scarcity: How underfunded is this compared to the scale of the problem? Catalytic potential: Can up to $5M unlock larger funding or create systemic change? Readiness to scale: Are there proven models that just need funding to expand? What You’ll Do Conduct independent research on the assigned topic. Gather, review, and summarize academic papers, industry reports, and expert commentary. Synthesize findings into a clear, well-organized report following our standard Research Report Template. The report should reflect independent thinking, strong synthesis, and clear communication — not just a data dump. Who You Are Strong writing and analytical skills. Comfortable reading academic papers, summarizing complex ideas, and identifying key themes. Curious, self-directed, and able to manage your own workflow and deadlines. Excellent written English and ability to cite sources clearly. (Bonus) Familiarity with AI tools like ChatGPT, Elicit, or Perplexity for research support. Requirements Complete one ~10-page report within 6 weeks. Follow our provided report structure and formatting. Provide full references for all sources used. Disclose and fact-check any AI-assisted work per template guidelines. Meet weekly for 30–60 minutes to provide project updates to Advisors. Compensation & Timeline Pay: $2,000 per completed report Timeline: 6 weeks from initiation of project engagement

Project Description: We are looking for several English-speaking user testers to help test an early-stage AI phone conversation platform. This is a voice-first AI companion designed to have natural phone conversations, remember information across calls, and help preserve life stories, memories, and meaningful personal details over time with seniors. This is not a formal QA engineering role. We are looking for thoughtful people who can have real phone conversations with the system, observe how the experience feels, and provide clear feedback on what worked, what felt awkward, what was confusing, and what could be improved. What You Will Do: • Participate in phone calls with the AI system. • Speak naturally, as if you were using the product in real life. • Discuss life stories, memories, family, hobbies, routines, preferences, or other ordinary topics. • Record your side of the phone calls using a webcam or similar video recording setup. • Provide short written feedback after each call. • Identify issues such as confusing questions, unnatural responses, repetition, missed context, awkward pacing, or technical problems. • Test whether the system remembers details correctly across multiple calls. Time Commitment: • Hourly contract. • Approximately 5 hours per week. • Flexible scheduling, but reliability is important. • We may extend the engagement if the work is helpful. Requirements: • English must be your primary or fully fluent spoken language. • Comfortable having natural phone conversations. • Able to record yourself during calls using a webcam, phone camera, Zoom, Loom, or similar tool. • Able to provide clear, honest written feedback. • Reliable, responsive, and comfortable testing an early-stage product. • Must be willing to sign a simple video/media release allowing us to use call recordings and data for internal review, marketing, and related business purposes. Helpful but Not Required: • Experience with user testing, customer feedback, QA testing, caregiving, elder care, family storytelling, memoir writing, interviewing, or conversation-based products. • Experience giving structured feedback on apps, AI tools, or phone-based systems. Important Notes: This is an early product test. The system may make mistakes, repeat itself, or misunderstand you. You should not share highly sensitive personal, medical, financial, or confidential information during the calls. You may use real, lightly fictionalized, or role-played stories for testing purposes, although the stories should be consistent so the system can be tested for recall across conservations.

Job title: Researcher — Funding Transparency in Climate & Conservation Philanthropy Category: Market Research / Nonprofit & Philanthropy Research Type: Fixed-price · Budget: $2,000 · Duration: 6 weeks · Experience level: Intermediate Overview We’re looking for a curious, detail-oriented researcher to produce a structured, professional research report (~10 pages) identifying foundations, NGOs, and nonprofits that practice meaningful funding transparency in climate and conservation. Key Research Question What does meaningful funding transparency look like in climate and conservation philanthropy, and which foundations, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and nonprofits practice it? Context Philanthropic funding for climate and environmental issues is growing, but transparency is uneven across the sector. Many foundations do not consistently publish timely, detailed information about their grantmaking, strategic priorities, or impact evaluations, making it difficult for researchers, practitioners, and potential grantees to understand where climate dollars are going and how funders make decisions. While some funders share robust data, overall reporting remains fragmented, with major gaps in grant-level disclosure, evaluation practices, and visibility into how funds are allocated across environmental priorities and communities. Objective Identify foundations that publicly share details about their environmental funding in three areas: (1) infrastructure innovation to reduce carbon emissions, (2) sustainability projects targeting high-impact unsustainable practices, and (3) conservation of critical ecosystems (e.g., endangered species, threatened landscapes, natural resources). Document what information each foundation provides — such as grant amounts, recipients, funding criteria, and impact reports — and assess how accessible this information is. What You’ll Do Conduct independent research on the assigned topic. Gather, review, and summarize academic papers, industry reports, and expert commentary. Synthesize findings into a clear, well-organized report following our standard Research Report Template. The report should reflect independent thinking, strong synthesis, and clear communication — not just a data dump. Who You Are Strong writing and analytical skills. Comfortable reading academic papers, summarizing complex ideas, and identifying key themes. Curious, self-directed, and able to manage your own workflow and deadlines. Excellent written English and ability to cite sources clearly. (Bonus) Familiarity with AI tools like ChatGPT, Elicit, or Perplexity for research support. Requirements Complete one ~10-page report within 6 weeks. Follow our provided report structure and formatting. Provide full references for all sources used.

Job title: Researcher — AI Safety Funding Opportunities in Mental Health, Education & Personal Health Category: Market Research / Policy Research Type: Fixed-price · Budget: $2,000 · Duration: 6 weeks · Experience level: Intermediate Overview We’re looking for a curious, detail-oriented researcher to produce a structured, professional research report (~10 pages) mapping where AI safety risks intersect with traditional philanthropic focus areas — and where the highest-priority funding opportunities sit at those intersections. Key Research Question Where do AI safety risks intersect with traditional philanthropic focus areas, and what are the highest-priority funding opportunities at these intersections? Context Foundations focus on specific mission areas like mental health, education, and healthcare, but they often don’t know how AI safety risks connect to their existing work. AI is developing rapidly, making it hard for non-technical funders to understand its impact on the communities they serve. Misaligned AI is already making some of these problems worse. Funders need guidance on which AI safety priorities are relevant to their focus areas, rather than broad overviews of the entire field. At the same time, AI safety organizations struggle to explain technical risks in ways that make sense to mission-driven funders. This disconnect leads to missed opportunities where foundation priorities and AI safety needs actually overlap. Objective For mental health, education, and personal health, conduct research to answer four key questions: What are the AI safety risks in these areas? What solutions exist? Where are the funding gaps? How can philanthropy help? The goal is to help foundations see how AI safety connects to the causes they already support, so funders can quickly identify concrete funding opportunities in each area. What You’ll Do Conduct independent research on the assigned topic. Gather, review, and summarize academic papers, industry reports, and expert commentary. Synthesize findings into a clear, well-organized report following our standard Research Report Template. The report should reflect independent thinking, strong synthesis, and clear communication — not just a data dump. Who You Are Strong writing and analytical skills.
