The Forum team will update this page when there is more clarity on what has happened.

The FTX Foundation is a non-profit organization funded by FTX, a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried.
In July 2021, FTX Foundation launched FTX Climate, an initiative to make FTX carbon-neutral by the end of 2021; to fund promising research on climate change; and to support various other climate-related projects.[1][2] In late October 2021, FTX Foundation announced a fellowship program to support individuals working on high-impact projects and to build an effective altruism community in the Bahamas, where FTX is headquartered.[3]
