AISTOF is a “pooled multi-donor charitable fund”, organized & run by Jueyan Zhang.
Example of major, “best”, or archetypal grants?
???
What fields do they support? What are they excited by?
Where does their money come from?
Medium-to-high net worth individuals (people donating $100k-$10m per year) work with AISTOF.
How do they make grants? Who to contact, how to apply?
AISTOF stays on top of funding opportunities. No application, instead Jueyan might reach out to you (or vice versa) about funding.
Takes, criticisms, what they’re good at, what they’re bad at
