    This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigators. Mamoreruinochi wo Mamorukai representatives reviewed this page prior to publication.

    The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $40,000 to Mamoreruinochi wo Mamorukai for general support. Mamoreruinochi wo Mamorukai, which translates roughly as Protect the Lives Protectable, is a Japanese organization that protects science journalists and scientists from attacks, insults, and litigation.

    This grant was made by a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, to which we occasionally make funding recommendations. This is a discretionary grant and falls within our work on scientific research.
