Kurzgesagt — Video Creation and Translation

Visit Grantee Site

Table of Contents


    Grant investigator: Claire Zabel

    This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigator. Kurzgesagt staff also reviewed this page prior to publication.


    Open Philanthropy recommended a contract of €2,413,800 ($2,855,224 at the time of conversion) over two years with Kurzgesagt, a YouTube channel and design studio that creates educational videos on a variety of topics, to support the creation of videos on topics relevant to effective altruism and improving humanity’s long-run future. In addition to video creation, Kurzgesagt intends to use this funding to translate existing videos into a number of non-English languages.

    This project was supported through a contractor agreement. While we typically do not publish pages for contractor agreements, we occasionally opt to do so.
