What is ACX Grants?
I want to give grants to good research and good projects with a minimum of paperwork. Like an NIH grant or something, only a lot less money and prestige.
How is this different from Marginal Revolution's Fast Grants, Nadia Eghbal's Helium Grants, or EA Funds' grant rounds?
Not different at all. It's total 100% plagiarism of them. I'm doing it anyway because I think it's a good idea, and I predict there are a lot of good people with good projects in this community who haven't heard about / participated in those, but who will participate when I do it.
How much money are you giving out?
ACX Grants proper will involve $250,000 of my own money, but I'm hoping to supplement with much more of other people's money, amount to be determined. See the sections on ACX Grants + and ACX Grants ++ below.
Why do you have $250,000 to spend on grants?
Unsolicited gifts from rich patrons, your generosity in subscribing to my Substack, and the second item here.
