He was Facebook's third employee. In 2009 he met Tuna, then a *[[The Wall Street Journal|Wall Street Journal]]* reporter, on a blind date arranged by her colleague, and they married in 2013; shortly before, he wrote on Quora: "Cari and I are stewards of this capital. It's pooled up around us right now, but it belongs to the world. We intend not to have much left when we die."[^5] ### Asana -Moskovitz has been an Asana director since December 2008 and its chairman since December 2019. He was chief executive from October 2010 to July 2025, and also chief financial officer from 2009 to 2017. Asana went public by direct listing on the [[New York Stock Exchange]] in September 2020.[^4] In 2026 he held 74.2 percent of the company's voting power through his own shares, the Dustin A.

Asana's 2026 proxy statement reported, as related-person transactions, 1.1 million dollars in AI services bought from [[Anthropic]], noting that Moskovitz "has a minority ownership interest in Anthropic," and 300,000 dollars bought from OpenAI, noting D'Angelo's seat on its board.[^1] +Moskovitz has been an Asana director since December 2008 and its chairman since December 2019.

The Open Philanthropy grantmaker [[Luke Muehlhauser]] was then one of Anthropic's four directors, and Karnofsky had married Anthropic's president, [[Daniela Amodei]].[^5] Muehlhauser resigned from the board in May 2024, writing that it had become complicated to be both an AI governance grantmaker at Open Philanthropy and a director of a frontier AI company.[^9] In April 2026 the *[[Washington Examiner]]* reported that in 2025 Moskovitz had transferred his Anthropic stake, "which had reportedly grown to roughly $500 million, to his charity to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interests."[^10] Asana's proxy statement of April 20, 2026 described Moskovitz as having "a minority ownership interest in Anthropic."[^1] *Semafor* called Coefficient Giving "a favorite of Anthropic executives"; its chief executive, [[Alexander Berger]], said in 2026: "We're definitely not the Anthropic Foundation."[^3] +Moskovitz took part in Anthropic's first funding round of 124 million dollars in 2021, and in 2023 told *[[Politico]]* that "my goal in investing [in Anthropic] stems from the exact same place as our non-profit work" and that any returns "will be entirely redirected back into our philanthropic work."

According to documents the *Washington Examiner* obtained under the [[Freedom of Information Act]], he hired [[Ben Buchanan]], director of CSET's CyberAI project, under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act, with Georgetown continuing to pay Buchanan's salary and the government reimbursing it; the paper noted that CSET had received 97 million dollars from Open Philanthropy between 2019 and 2021, and that Buchanan became an architect of the Biden export controls on advanced chips that Anthropic later urged the Trump administration to keep. Buchanan said he "scrupulously complied with all legal and ethics rules." Senator [[Ted Cruz]], who named Moskovitz in a 2024 letter, wrote that "large AI technology companies are influencing the Biden administration's AI policy from the inside."[^10] +Open Philanthropy set aside nearly 3 million dollars in 2022 for the first fellows of the [[Horizon Institute for Public Service]], which pays technology fellows placed in congressional offices, federal agencies and think tanks, among them the offices of Senators [[Martin Heinrich]], [[Mike Rounds]] and [[Todd Young]], whom [[Chuck Schumer]] had put in charge of AI legislation; *Politico* wrote that Open Philanthropy had "effectively created" Horizon.[^6] Matheny served in the Biden [[White House]] from March 2021 to June 2022.

In December 2010, aged 25, she and [[Dustin Moskovitz]], then 26, became the youngest billionaires to sign the [[Giving Pledge]]; their pledge letter, written in Moskovitz's voice, thanked "a partner in Cari who shares my priorities" and promised to "donate and invest with both urgency and mindfulness." With Moskovitz occupied with [[Asana]], it fell to Tuna to manage their giving, and she quit reporting to study philanthropy.[^1][^2] +### Early Life + +Tuna was raised in Evansville, Indiana, the eldest of three children of two doctors. At [[Signature School]] she was co-valedictorian and student council president and founded the school's [[Amnesty International]] chapter; she was a parishioner at Aldersgate United Methodist Church. At Yale she studied political science and worked on the college paper, wrote for the *[[Evansville Courier & Press]]*, interned at the *[[Minneapolis Star Tribune]]*, spoke some Arabic and Turkish, and considered becoming a foreign correspondent.[^3][^4] At *The Wall Street Journal* she was a junior reporter in the San Francisco bureau covering enterprise technology and the California economy.[^3][^5] In 2009 a *Journal* colleague who knew Moskovitz from college set the two up on a blind date. They married in 2013.[^3] + ### GiveWell and Good Ventures -Tuna read about [[GiveWell]] in [[Peter Singer]]'s *The Life You Can Save* and met its co-founder [[Holden Karnofsky]] through a mutual friend; she joined its board in April 2011. In December 2011, as president of [[Good Ventures]], "a foundation in the San Francisco Bay Area which she created with her partner Dustin Moskovitz earlier this year," she announced grants of 500,000 dollars to the [[Against Malaria Foundation]] and 250,000 dollars to the [[Schistosomiasis Control Initiative]], and planned grants to [[GiveDirectly]], [[Innovations for Poverty Action]], [[KIPP Houston]], [[Nyaya Health]], [[Pratham]] and the [[Small Enterprise Foundation]].[^3] In 2012 GiveWell moved its office from New York to San Francisco "to be closer to Tuna and other technology-industry donors," and the joint project GiveWell Labs became the Open Philanthropy Project, led by Tuna, Karnofsky and [[Alexander Berger]]. Asked in 2018 whether she identified as an effective altruist, she answered, "Yes.

Asked in 2018 whether she identified as an effective altruist, she answered, "Yes.

The foundation's assets reached 10.1 billion dollars in 2025.[^4] Open Philanthropy, which draws nearly all of its grant money from Good Ventures, had given away about 7 billion dollars by September 2026.[^5] In 2026 Coefficient Giving, as [[Open Philanthropy]] was renamed in November 2025, listed her as chair, with Berger as chief executive, [[Emily Oehlsen]] as president, [[Naina Bajekal]] as managing director for communications and [[Luke Muehlhauser]] as managing director for AI governance and international policy.[^6] +Tuna has been president of the Good Ventures Foundation on every return since 2015, and its board chair by 2025, with Moskovitz as secretary and treasurer and [[Divesh Makan]] of [[ICONIQ Capital]] as director; none is paid.

The AP reported that Coefficient Giving is incorporated as a limited liability company with several affiliated tax-exempt nonprofits, that outside donors had given more than 300 million dollars on its advice, and that it had given more than 580 million dollars to build the field of AI-risk research.[^10] In 2025 it launched a 120-million-dollar fund, half from Good Ventures, for research and advocacy against regulatory barriers to housing and energy infrastructure, and the couple joined the [[Gates Foundation]] and [[Lucy Southworth]] in the 100-million-dollar [[Lead Exposure Action Fund]].[^5][^11] ### Seven Entities -In 2018 the *Stanford Social Innovation Review* writer [[Marc Gunther]] wrote that Tuna played "a key role in no fewer than seven entities, as a director or major donor": the Open Philanthropy Project LLC; the [[Open Philanthropy Action Fund]], a 501(c)(4); the Open Philanthropy Project fund, a donor-advised fund at the [[Silicon Valley Community Foundation]]; the Good Ventures Foundation; Good Ventures, a supporting organization at the same community foundation; Good Ventures LLC, "a for-profit impact investment firm"; and GiveWell. He wrote that grants through the donor-advised funds "can't be traced back to the original donors." Tuna and Moskovitz were also investors in [[Breakthrough Energy Ventures]].[^1] The Open Philanthropy Action Fund has paid outside lobbyists every year from 2021 through 2026.[^7] Asana's 2026 proxy statement noted that Moskovitz and "his spouse" were directors of Good Ventures, which held Asana shares.[^8] +In 2018 the *Stanford Social Innovation Review* writer [[Marc Gunther]] wrote that Tuna played "a key role in no fewer than seven entities, as a director or major donor": the Open Philanthropy Project LLC; the [[Open Philanthropy Action Fund]], a 501(c)(4); the Open Philanthropy Project fund, a donor-advised fund at the [[Silicon Valley Community Foundation]]; the Good Ventures Foundation; Good Ventures, a supporting organization at the same community foundation; Good Ventures LLC, "a for-profit impact investment firm"; and GiveWell.

Between March 2017 and April 2019 she gave 1.9 million dollars to [[Real Justice PAC]], in payments of 653,480 dollars, 350,000, 850,000 and 50,000, and 200,000 dollars to [[Color of Change PAC]].
