Extending and improving the lives of people with ALK+ lung cancer by raising funds for research and patient support programs.

**Our Vision**

We envision a world where ALK+ lung cancer is a chronic or even curable condition and the next person diagnosed with lung cancer does not have to live under the current stigma.

**Our Start**

\#SweatForBreath started as a grassroots fundraising campaign during Lung Cancer Awareness Month in 2023. After being diagnosed with Stage IV ALK+ lung cancer in November 2022, David Cornbrooks became keenly aware that he was benefiting from the selfless fundraising and awareness efforts of the patients before him.

[Listen to David's story here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWcS-yN7Qxw)

The \#SweatForBreath campaign in 2023 became David, and his wife, Lisa’s, way to help the next generation ALK+ lung cancer patients.

\#SweatForBreath accelerated beyond more than just a typical fundraiser.  The initiative quickly evolved into a community of patients, caregivers, family, and friends seeking to make David and Lisa's vision a reality and the road to that vision more tolerable. People donated, sweat at the in-person cycle event, posted on social media, and helped fundraise through organizing group walks, selling art, "gifting" donations on behalf of clients, and much more.

Their success in 2023 compelled David and Lisa to officially transition the \#SweatForBreath campaign into the Sweat For Breath Foundation, operating through a fiscal sponsorship with Players Philanthropy Fund, a Maryland charitable trust recognized by IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID: 27-6601178).

**Our Impact**

Since 2023, over **1,450 donors** have given nearly **$400,000** to the Foundation (or its predecessor campaign). 100% of the proceeds have gone directly to The Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Center in Baltimore, MD to support Dr. Vincent Lam’s ALK+ lung cancer research.

This support provided the critical funding needed to launch Dr. Lam’s clinic trial, which will evaluate the safety of a cancer peptide vaccine to prevent or delay acquired resistance in advanced ALK+ lung cancer patients currently on ALK targeted therapy. Dr. Lam’s vaccine is the **first ALK+ vaccine in the world** to be tested in a clinical trial. Dr. Lam administered the vaccine to the first patient **in clinic on May 13, 2024**!

Delivering unconditional cash directly to the world's poorest households via secure mobile transfers. 

Since 2009, GiveDirectly has delivered more than $580 million in unconditional cash transfers to families in need. These one-time cash transfers allow recipients to invest in what they need most and have been shown to improve their earnings, children’s school attendance, health, nutrition, and mental well-being.
 
GiveDirectly uses government data to target villages where most or all residents are living in extreme poverty, defined by the World Bank as earning under $2.15/day. In-country GiveDirectly staff enroll one member of each household in the entire village to receive a one-time transfer of about $1,000 USD sent in two installments using mobile money. Recipients can then withdraw the mobile funds as cash with local agents and use the funds to invest in what they need – whether it’s on starting a business, education, making their home safer/sturdier, healthcare, or livestock.
 
GiveDirectly uses rigorous experimental research (randomized controlled trials) to measure the impact of their unconditional cash programs and answer public policy questions, generating evidence on key design and implementation questions across varied contexts. You can find over 300 studies on the positive impacts of cash transfers in GiveDirectly’s Cash Research Explorer.

Our mission is to lower the suicide rate and prevent homelessness in the veteran population.  

Formerly known as Operation Combat Bikesaver. Our flagship program is what we call "Hotrod Therapy," which teaches veterans the skills and techniques to rebuild an old beat up motorcycle and create the bike of their dreams.  Through this distractive therapy veterans also get to work through their problems and end up "rebuilding" themselves as well.  We have seen some great men and women go through incredible changes in this program.  The veteran then gets to keep their project at no cost, and they usually end up sticking around to help mentor the next veteran through the process.  
While we are most known for our Hotrod Therapy program, we offer a variety of programs to improve the lives of veterans that served their country.  The "On Your Feet" program helps veterans going through hard times.  Our weekly veteran peer support group "Lima Charlie" meets every Thursday and gives veterans a safe space to workshop their problems with like-minded individuals who have been through similar experiences.  Our F.A.T. Program, or "Fitness and Tranquility" helps veterans to live a healthy, active, and peaceful lifestyle, which can be an adjustment to some.  Just to name a few.
100% of your donation goes to helping veterans, whether that be a part for their motorcycle build, getting them a safe ride to work in the morning, or enabling them to make positive impact in their community.  
We do not believe in just "raising awareness."  People are definitely aware.  We are making a positive impact.

Cuddles Foundation nourishes children in their fight against cancer. Because #Foodheals



**Feed Children. Starve Cancer.**

Every year, approximately 76,000 children in India may develop cancer, with 58% of them being severely malnourished at the time of diagnosis. For these children, nutrition can mean the difference between life and death. Every child deserves a chance at a cure, and we are here to make that happen.

At Cuddles Foundation, we partner with over 40 government and charity cancer hospitals to support children through our FoodHeals program. Our mission is to ensure that children undergoing cancer therapy receive comprehensive nutritional support. This includes access to trained clinical pediatric nutritionists, expert dietary counsel, supplements, hot meals, monthly ration baskets, and caregiver support. Good food helps the medicine work!

This multi-pronged approach tackles a simple but often ignored aspect of a child’s successful recovery from cancer. While undergoing treatment, it is essential that children have freshly prepared, nutritious food in sufficient quantity and don't stay hungry for long periods. The impact of our work is evident. When part of the FoodHeals Program, 82%* of patients improved or maintained their nutritional status, despite cancer therapy like chemotherapy or radiation.

Additionally, 96% of children followed up* on their treatment plan when nutrition was a part of it, demonstrating the program’s effectiveness. Besides the love and affection of our patients, their families, and our supporters, we’ve won some prestigious awards along the way. This includes the National Award for Child Welfare (2015-16), the Akshaya Patra and UN Global Compact Award (2018) and most recently we received the Global CSR & ESG Awards 2024 - Top 10 Best NGOs of the Year (2024).

Join us in our mission to nourish hope and fight childhood cancer. Your support can make a world of difference.

**As per Cuddles annual impact statistics 2023-24*
**Follow-up treatment rate: Patients who returned for a second visit or continued treatment when nutrition was a part of it.*

Aquatic Life Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on reducing the suffering of aquatic animals in the global food system.

Aquatic Life Institute (ALI) was founded in 2019 to address the critical and often overlooked issue of aquatic animal welfare. Recognizing that aquatic animals are the most exploited group of animals worldwide yet remain largely unprotected, ALI set out with a mission to drive systemic change and elevate aquatic animal welfare as a priority in global food systems.

Our theory of change is rooted in the belief that by influencing key stakeholders and decision makers, advancing policies, and fostering collaboration, we can drive systemic transformation for billions of aquatic animals. 

Building on this foundation, ALI has emerged as a thought leader, advocating for tangible improvements across the seafood supply chain. By engaging with key stakeholders, including corporations, certification schemes, and policymakers, we work to ensure that aquatic animals trapped in the food system receive the attention they deserve in decision-making processes relating to sustainability and food systems. 

ALI’s work is driven by evidence-based strategies and collaboration. This approach has earned ALI widespread recognition, including a 2024 Top Charity recommendation from Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE). This endorsement solidifies ALI’s position as one of the most effective organizations in the world advancing aquatic animal welfare.

Sentinel transforms pandemic prevention and response through cutting-edge technology, global collaboration, and local empowerment.

Infectious disease outbreaks have caused more illness, death, and economic loss than any other crisis in history. Pathogens kill millions of people each year and hit the most vulnerable communities the hardest. They go further—exposing and exploiting the deepest cracks in our societies and the risks are rising. 

 The forces driving pandemics are accelerating. Climate change is increasing human exposure to pathogens through animals and insects. Habitat encroachment and industrial agriculture are raising the risk of spillover. Global trade and travel speed disease spread, while conflict and instability weaken health systems. New biotechnologies pose engineered threats that current systems cannot detect. Over the past decade, the number of epidemics has grown by 20% worldwide. Between February and June 2025 alone, more than 70 outbreaks were reported across Africa. Yet global readiness is faltering. In the past year, U.S. investments in frontline health systems and disease surveillance have been sharply reduced. Funding cuts have disrupted networks and delayed the deployment of critical tools, especially in regions most vulnerable to outbreaks. Health programs across West and Central Africa now face rising threats with fewer resources and limited external support, leaving the world more exposed- with some experts estimating the probability of a pandemic in the next decade to exceed one in four.
 
Amid these mounting challenges, we stand at a historic moment of possibility. Sentinel, a pandemic early warning prevention and response program, is built to meet this moment: a locally led, technology-enabled model for proactive public health, integrating diagnostics, data, and training to stop outbreaks before they spread. 

Sentinel is an outbreak surveillance framework, designed to detect pathogenic threats in real-time and prepare the global community to stop diseases before they spread. It brings advanced science to the frontlines through a next-generation pandemic prevention system built around three core pillars. DETECT delivers rapid diagnostics and genomic surveillance. CONNECT integrates laboratory, clinical, and genomic data into real-time insights. EMPOWER invests in training, infrastructure, and institutional capacity so countries can lead their own outbreak responses.

DETECT: Timely diagnostics and sequencing are essential for early outbreak detection and effective response. Yet these capabilities remain limited in many LMICs, even for high-priority pathogens like Lassa, Ebola, and Marburg. Too often, health systems act only after outbreaks are widespread, costing precious time and lives. Sentinel’s DETECT pillar delivers speed, affordability, and accessibility through a tiered approach to diagnostic design and implementation.

CONNECT: Fragmented systems delay response and allow outbreaks to spread unchecked. When data are siloed, public health leaders lose time and visibility, undermining containment efforts. In contrast, integrated systems support faster, more effective action. Sentinel’s CONNECT pillar builds the digital backbone for outbreak response. Through interoperable dashboards and analytic platforms, it streamlines data flow, strengthens each stage of detection, analysis, and control, and enables real-time decision-making.

EMPOWER: Building local leadership and scientific capacity is central to Sentinel’s mission. Although over 60% of emerging infectious diseases originate in Africa and Asia, fewer than 10% of African countries had genomic surveillance at the start of COVID-19. Africa faces a shortfall of more than one million health workers, including critical gaps in genomics and data science. Sentinel’s EMPOWER pillar builds sustainable, locally led outbreak response by investing in people and communities. It enables local experts to detect and respond early with solutions grounded in context, shortening the path from innovation to public health practice and building resilient systems from within.

The foundation for Sentinel was laid over two decades through a 20-year partnership between Prof. Christian Happi, a Nigerian infectious disease expert, and Prof. Pardis Sabeti, a U.S.-based computational geneticist. Over the years this collaboration has established operational programs in Nigeria and Sierra Leone that connect health workers in rural clinics and hospitals with national and international public health leadership. **To date more than 3,000 public health workers from 53 of 54 countries in Africa** have been trained through Sentinel’s approach.

Sentinel-supported teams have enabled early detection and rapid response to Marburg, mpox, Lassa, dengue, and COVID-19, providing critical data to inform government action. 

COVID-19: Sentinel rapidly expanded genomic and diagnostic capacity across Africa, establishing pipelines with national partners. In March 2020, IGH sequenced Africa’s first SARS-CoV-2 genome within 72 hours of sample receipt. Sentinel supported testing for over 30 million people, deployed SHINE and CARMEN technologies, and led genomic surveillance in 26 countries. This work helped identify one of the first globally recognized variants of concern. Sentinel also trained scientists from 53 African countries, strengthening long-term preparedness. The Sentinel team also led one of the largest diagnostic and sequencing centers in the U.S. and supported global data sharing and informatics efforts.

Mpox: In 2023, Sentinel traced an mpox outbreak in Nigeria to oil workers in Rivers State, guiding the NCDC’s targeted vaccination strategy. Sentinel also hosted a three-week genomics bootcamp that trained regional professionals in real-time sequencing and analysis. Genomic data revealed sustained human transmission of the West African subtype, with signs of adaptation and rising pandemic potential. When an outbreak emerged in Sierra Leone in 2024, local public health teams, supported by Sentinel, initiated sequencing and shared real-time data. Analysis identified a new highly transmissible G.1 variant spreading beyond previously affected groups. Sentinel tools and team members remain central to guiding the national response.

 Marburg: In 2024, Sentinel supported the Rwandan government during a Marburg outbreak in Kigali. IGH provided outbreak reconstruction and real- time sequencing, while Prof. Happi co-chaired the national scientific response. The outbreak was contained at 66 cases, with the case fatality rate reduced to 22%, far below historical averages.

Building off of these successes, Sentinel is poised for its next phase: deepening national integration, expanding its reach, and advancing a globally transferable model for pandemic prevention. We will achieve full national implementation in Sierra Leone and move toward this in Nigeria, embedding surveillance into national systems and incorporating a One Health approach that addresses climate-linked and zoonotic threats. Expansion will continue to Senegal, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where strong partners and readiness are in place. In parallel, we are globalizing Sentinel’s tools, data platforms, and training programs to create a lasting framework for pandemic prevention.

Sentinel will help millions benefit from earlier detection, faster response, stronger systems, and a globally connected early warning network. This is the moment to transform pandemic prevention and safeguard global health security for generations to come.

There will be another pandemic virus in our lifetimes—it may already be here, but our work is about more than stopping disease outbreaks. By empowering people and equipping them with the tools, the system, and the knowledge needed, we create strong and resilient communities for generations to come. Sentinel is about partnership, solidarity, and most importantly, hope!

That's why we believe that with you, we can make an impact.

ITPI stewards Integral Transformative Practice®, a well-researched approach for co-evolving body, mind, heart and soul.

Integral Transformative Practice (ITP) co-founders George Leonard and Michael Murphy believed each of us possesses a “vast, untapped potential to learn, to love, to feel deeply, and to create.” Inspired by this belief, they laid the groundwork for a transformative program that would awaken us to our true and full potential.

Esalen Institute became the seedbed for their ideas in the 1960s, and would serve as the foundation for ITP’s integral and long-term approach. From the initial experiments at Esalen, to the first official practice group founded in 1992, ITP continues to evolve to help practitioners achieve long-term goals for realizing positive and healthy transformation of body, mind, heart and soul.

Our vision is to awaken the world to its fullest potential through the discovery and experience of our highest potential and extraordinary capacities of body, mind, heart and soul. Through our works, we aim toward the creation of a society dedicated to the greater realization of the human birthright to learn, to love, to feel deeply and to create.

Our mission is to advance the adventure of Integral Transformative Practice and to further the principles and practices of ITP through the formation of groups, leadership training and resources for practitioners. We seek to bring the benefits of ITP to diverse fields such as schools, businesses and health care.

ITP is a community of inclusive and dedicated practitioners who value the benefits of long-term practice. We encourage practitioners to cultivate their own worldviews and beliefs, free from dogma or guru-led practices. ITP is guided by multiple teachers and practices aimed at inspiring healthy transformation over time.

Officially incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2005, ITP International (ITPI) acts as a steward to advance the education and research of the practice, as well as offer ongoing support to our ITP members on this transformative journey.

A research nonprofit that works on assessing whether cutting-edge AI systems could pose catastrophic risks to society.

METR (Model Evaluation and Threat Research) builds the science of accurately assessing risks, so that humanity is informed before developing transformative AI systems.

We believe that AI could change the world quickly and drastically, with potential for both enormous good and enormous harm. We also believe it’s hard to predict exactly when and how this might happen.

At some point, AIs will probably be able to do most of what humans can do, including developing new technologies; starting businesses and making money; finding new cybersecurity exploits and fixes; and more.

We think it’s very plausible that AI systems could end up pursuing goals that are at odds with a thriving civilization. This could be due to someone’s deliberate effort to cause chaos, or happen despite the intention to only develop AI systems that are safe.

Given how quickly things could play out, we don’t think it’s good enough to “wait and see” whether there are dangers.

We believe in vigilantly, continually assessing risks. If an AI brings significant risk of a global catastrophe, the decision to develop and/or release it can’t lie only with the company that creates it.

METR

We aim to mitigate catastrophic risks from transformative AI, which we believe could be developed in the next few decades.



The AI Risk Mitigation Fund (ARM Fund) is a non-profit fund making grants in technical research, policy, and training programs for new researchers to reduce catastrophic risks from advanced AI.

We are focussed on the following three areas.

Technical AI alignment research
Technical research can uncover dangerous capabilities before it’s too late, or enable designing future AI systems with enhanced interpretability, steerability, and possibility for human oversight.

Policy
Policy work aims to ensure that government regulation and corporate standards appropriately guard against catastrophic risks.

Training for new researchers
Investment has poured into AI capability development, yet strikingly few researchers are working on key problems in AI safety, particularly outside major industry labs. Grants in this area aim to bring new talent into the AI safety field.

Our mission is to mitigate catastrophic risks from transformative AI, which we believe could be developed in the next few decades.

Our team and history
Our team works hard to ensure you make the most effective donations possible. We have substantial experience managing large donations securely, professionally, and flexibly. We've collectively overseen tens of millions of dollars worth of donations to nonprofits based on careful analysis of their impactfulness and ability to use new funding.

What you can expect if you donate
When we receive a donation designated for the ARM Fund, we grant 100% of the value of the donation (minus any fees charged by payment processors) to organizations and individuals recommended by our team of expert grantmakers.

The ARM Fund does not take any fees from donations before the distribution (we fundraise separately for our overhead costs, which include wages for our grantmakers).

The ARM Fund will likely have a partially overlapping group of applicants as the Long-Term Future Fund. So while 100% of your donations will go directly to AI safety projects under the ARM Fund, your donations will likely have an indirect effect in freeing up some of LTFF’s other resources to be spent on other existential security interventions, including both in AI safety and in other LTFF focus areas like biosecurity.

Donors will have the option to join our quarterly mailing list tracking updates in AI safety, listing our grants, and more.

100% of your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by US law. Your donation is made to Every.org, a tax-exempt US 501(c)(3) charity that grants unrestricted funds to Effective Ventures Foundation USA, Inc. on your behalf. As a legal matter, Every.org must provide any donations to Effective Ventures Foundation USA, Inc. on an unrestricted basis, regardless of any designations or restrictions made by you.

Pediatric malnutrition treatment – reimagined for scale.

Taimaka has reimagined pediatric malnutrition treatment to make it **more cost-effective and scalable**. We’ve developed a malnutrition treatment model that is:

1. 53% cheaper than legacy approaches and:
2. Leverages digitally-enabled community health workers (CHWs) to deliver care to the most vulnerable communities. 

So far, we’ve used our model to treat 6,000+ children out of existing government hospitals in northeastern Nigeria with world-class recovery rates of 95%+. Our track record has led charity evaluators like [Founder’s Pledge](https://www.founderspledge.com/funds/global-health-and-development-fund) to identify us as one of the most cost-effective nonprofits in global health, with a [cost-per-life saved of $1,644](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16czhbk2xjA1EkhQxebnTV_49cwVC9XYFE23Jal2Yhu4/edit#gid=0). Over the next five years, we’re on track to expand our program to treat tens of thousands of children, while helping governments revamp their outdated programs so that they can double the number of children they reach.

We cover everything from global poverty to natural disasters, education and health, democracy; we have over 13,000 charts across hundreds of topics.


Our World in Data is free, open-source and provided as a public good. It has millions of users every month, and is cited in research and media across the world every day. This allows millions of people to understand the large problems the world is facing, and how we can solve them.
