2025 Annual Report 

2025 Annual Report Compassionate Future Initiative

2025 we expanded our community building strategies around Suffering-Focused Ethics (SFE), covering some major neglected cause areas and developing our community support portfolio. 

Key highlights include:

• Hosting the Compassionate Future Summit 2025 in Berlin, bringing together 45 participants from 17 countries for a participant-driven working and community event focused on long-term suffering reduction.
• Active outreach and community engagement at major EA events, including EAG London, EAGx Berlin, and EAGx Amsterdam, with multiple SFE meetups and satellite sessions.
• Developing and promoting our impact oriented guidelines. 
• Publishing and advancing Compassionate Genomics, outlining genomic welfare and moral predispositions as underexplored, high-impact intervention areas.
• Strengthening ties within the growing SFE ecosystem, alongside organisations such as the Center for Reducing Suffering and Sentient Futures.
• Organisational consolidation through rebranding to the Compassionate Future Initiative and expansion of the website and collaboration pathways.

Looking ahead, 2026 will focus on professionalising our organisational infrastructure, updating content such as the interventions mind map with up-to-date opportunities and delivering the next Compassionate Future Summit in Berlin.
