The organization has raised over $500,000 in total donations from individuals and corporate matching funds programs, most of which went to "supporting conferences and publishing papers".[5] Writer and advisory board member Sonia Arrison describes the group as "basically a Web site that raises money for various things".[3] In 2007, the Lifeboat Foundation absorbed an organization called the "Alliance to Rescue Civilization", which aimed to establish a disaster-proof record of human civilization on the Moon.[6] Lifeboat has tried to raise more money by accepting donations in Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency.[7] According to Fast Company, Lifeboat raised $72,000 in Bitcoin donations and pledges, and sought to use Bitcoin to protect itself against events such as the 2012–13 Cypriot financial crisis.[8] Lifeboat aimed to use some of the funds raised to fix Bitcoin-related bugs.[9] ActivitiesAccording to Fast Company, Lifeboat runs a number of "programs" to protect Earth against threats such as an asteroid impact, grey goo from molecular nanotechnology, and unfriendly artificial general intelligence.[12] Lifeboat maintains a list of "dozens and dozens" of catastrophic threats - including the eventual burnout of the Sun - divided into four main categories of "calamities", "collapse", "dominium", and "betrayal".[10] Journalist Ashlee Vance notes that it's "unclear how far along any of these projects is".[5] The Lifeboat Foundation also publishes books, such as "Visions of the Future",[11] an anthology of futurist and science fiction writing reviewed in the Financial Times.[12] Advisory boardsThe Lifeboat Foundation is notable for its extremely large set of advisory boards, containing thousands of scientists, businessmen, and other individuals across dozens of separate disciplines.[13] Owing to their size, the Lifeboat boards meet online, rather than in person.[14] The boards contain a number of Nobel Prize winners,[13] four MacArthur genius grant fellows,[15][16][17] including Mathematica founder Stephen Wolfram,[18] anti-Islam political activist Pamela Geller,[19] and formerly hosted two Russian secret agents identified in 2010 as part of the Illegals Program.[20] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Bilton|first1=Nick|title=Ava of ‘Ex Machina’ Is Just Sci-Fi (for Now)|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/21/style/ava-of-ex-machina-is-just-sci-fi-for-now.html|accessdate=5 April 2016|publisher=The New York Times|date=May 20, 2015}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Navrozov|first1=Lev|title=Eric Klien's Lifeboat Foundation|url=http://www.newsmax.com/Pre-2008/Eric-Klien-s-Lifeboat-Foundation/2006/06/29/id/686766/|accessdate=5 April 2016|publisher=Newsmax|date=June 29, 2006}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Rainey|first1=Sarah|title=This 'King of Love' runs the world's largest dating agency|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/this-king-of-love-runs-the-worlds-largest-dating-agency-2015-2|accessdate=5 April 2016|publisher=Business Insider|date=February 11, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Klien|first1=Eric|title=Eric Klien|url=https://lifeboat.com/ex/bios.eric.klien|website=Lifeboat Foundation|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=5 April 2016}} 5. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Vance|first1=Ashlee|title=Guardians of the Apocalypse|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-12-15/guardians-of-the-apocalypse|accessdate=5 April 2016|publisher=Bloomberg Businessweek|date=December 15, 2011}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Burrows|first1=William E.|title=Colonize the Moon|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB117038898506395928|accessdate=5 April 2016|publisher=The Wall Street Journal|date=February 2, 2007}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Hajdarbegovic|first1=Nermin|title=Safello Launches Free Bitcoin Fundraising Service for Charities|url=http://www.coindesk.com/safello-launches-free-bitcoin-fundraising-service-charities/|accessdate=5 April 2016|publisher=CoinDesk|date=August 18, 2014}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Ungerleider|first1=Neal|title=Funding A Non-Profit With...
