Open Philanthropy gave a gift of $3.4 million over two years to the RAND Corporation, to be spent at the discretion of RAND president and CEO Jason Matheny. Matheny has allocated this funding toward the development of a forecasting platform that will be used by professional forecasters and RAND staff to inform RAND’s work.
This gift was recommended by Benjamin Tereick on Open Philanthropy’s Forecasting team. It falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of forecasting.
