The Carnegie Corporation of New York has announced the launch of a new USD 10.2 million philanthropic consortium aimed at revitalising global efforts to reduce nuclear risks. The two-year initiative brings together multiple funders, including Founders Pledge, Longview Philanthropy, PAX sapiens and an anonymous donor, in a collaborative effort to address long-standing funding challenges in the arms control and disarmament field.
Under the model, Carnegie will lead and coordinate the consortium while individual funders retain full control over application reviews and grant decisions. To incentivise participation and improve funding efficiency, the initiative offers matching support for proposals that receive backing from multiple partners. This structure encourages alignment of impact strategies and allows donors to compare approaches and share lessons across the sector.
As part of ONN’s mission to support sustainable, evidence-based solutions to nuclear risk, PAX sapiens is proud to be among the founding partners of the consortium. For more on the rationale behind this new model — and the broader context of funding decline in the nuclear risk field — see our in-depth analysis in Thought Room by ONN Director Andreas Persbo and PAX COO Conor Seyle.
