Mox is the largest AI Safety community space in San Francisco. We're fundraising!

Mox, San Francisco's primary hub for AI safety and Effective Altruism communities, has launched a fundraising campaign seeking $450,000 to sustain and expand its operations through 2026. The 40,000 sqft coworking space, which opened just over a year ago, hosts conferences, fellowships, and incubates organizations while maintaining a metered-loss model to prioritize community development over profit. An anonymous donor has pledged 1:1 matching for the first $100k raised by March 15th, providing urgent runway extension for the facility that currently operates with just a few months of reserves.

The funding will address a $30k monthly operational deficit while enabling strategic expansion including hiring 1-2 additional staff members, running regular high-profile talk series, and guaranteeing the Global Expert Fellowship program that brings international AI safety researchers to the Bay Area on J-1 visas. Mox's theory of change centers on providing infrastructure and fostering collegial interactions among projects aligned on transformative AI's significance, supporting diverse approaches from direct safety research at Seldon Lab to broader effective altruism initiatives. The space has already hosted significant events including the 200-person Sentient Futures Summit and visits from policymakers like California Senator Scott Wiener, demonstrating its growing role as a physical nexus for AI safety discourse.
