Fros Foundation

Addressing Global Challenges

For Social Impact.

FROS Foundation aims to drive significant social impact by leveraging our resources to address global challenges across four focus areas.

We focus on opportunities in four key areas:

Focus Area

Advancing Global Health and Wellbeing
The burdens of global health disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. By addressing these challenges, we seek to reduce suffering and enhance quality of life, helping to build a healthier, happier world for all.

Innovative approaches to indoor air quality improvement in sub-Saharan Africa.

Proposal-writing workshops to improve the effectiveness of public aid.

Work on reducing poverty through graduation programs in East Africa and South Asia.

Focus Area

Beneficial and Secure AI for all
Artificial Intelligence holds immense potential to benefit humanity, but also poses significant risks if not developed responsibly. We prioritise ensuring that AI is safe and beneficial for everyone, while unlocking its potential to tackle global challenges.

Policy research in Europe, advancing evidence-based approaches to existential threats, future generations, and global welfare.

Analysis and monitoring work mitigating global catastrophic risks, with focus on Spanish-speaking communities worldwide.

Research developing cooperative AI systems that align with human values.

Focus Area

Empowering Global Talent
Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. We strive to level the playing field by empowering individuals and teams to apply their skills to the world’s most pressing challenges, and connecting them with the essential resources they need to thrive.

Network building pathways for talented individuals to pursue high-impact opportunities in India.

Philosophy studies focused on reducing suffering.

Economic research on the effects of AI on international economics, with special focus on implications for countries in the Global South.

Focus Area

Climate Change
Climate change demands global effort and collaboration. We focus on evidence-based, cost-effective interventions that accelerate climate solutions and support a sustainable future for all.

We are currently exploring opportunities in this space.
