Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1A

“Oliver Habryka was the sole voting member in 2024.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6

“Oliver Habryka was the only voting member of hte board in 2024. Additional board members were voted on to the board in January of 2025.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7A

“A board of independent trustees was selected and approved by Oliver Habryka in January 2025.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

“The form 990 was reviewed by Oliver Habryka, Director, and made available to the current independent board members (Matthew Gray and Daniel Kokotajlo, elected in January 2025) for review by email before filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“The conflict of interest policy in the bylaws mostly did not apply in 2024 since only a few staff were employed by the organization, and the other staff (including the Director, Oliver Habryka) were still employed by the Center for Applied Rationality and covered under that organization's policies.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“Per the bylaws, the Board is required to review compensation for the President or Executive Director as well as the Treasurer or chief financial officer and determine that it is just and reasonable. This was non-applicable in 2024, as the Executive Director, Oliver Habryka, was employed by a different organization.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“During 2024, the organization's governing documents were not listed publically on the website, but the website includes an Intercom contact method and members of the public can easily contact the team for queries, including to request viewing documents.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0FlexHEG Builders: During 2024 we received a grant of $54,060 to design and organize a two-day research workshop (scheduled for early 2025 at FAR Labs, Berkeley) that will convene ~30 investigators (eight funded R & D teams plus external AI-policy, chip-design, and verification specialists) to accelerate hardware-enabled governance (FlexHEG) research for safe, advanced AI. Pre-event work included setting shared IP terms, curating breakout research agendas, and coordinating preliminary design-choice studies so that, at the workshop, participants can refine experimental road-maps, prototype priorities, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Outputs will include openly licensed technical breakouts, draft design documents, and a networked research community positioned to pursue empirical validation of FlexHEG mechanisms.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The conflict of interest policy in the bylaws mostly did not apply in 2024 since only a few staff were employed by the organization, and the other staff (including the Director, Oliver Habryka) were still employed by the Center for Applied Rationality and covered under that organization's policies.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6Per the bylaws, the Board is required to review compensation for the President or Executive Director as well as the Treasurer or chief financial officer and determine that it is just and reasonable.
