What is the AI Impact Fund?

We believe non-profits are uniquely positioned to drive meaningful change—and AI can help accelerate that transformation. The AI Impact Fund is a grant and matching contribution program dedicated exclusively to supporting non-profit organizations using AI to advance their mission.

We begin with a $50,000 seed grant to help non-profits launch or scale transformative AI projects. In addition, we provide dollar-for-dollar matching for approved follow-on funding, amplifying the reach and impact of your initiative.

Our mission is simple: to empower non-profit organizations to imagine and implement bold, AI-driven solutions that create long-term value for the communities they serve.

We’re looking to fund transformative uses of AI within the non-profit world. Projects we support include:

Operations & Admin Efficiency

Making your information work for you—unlocking content from videos, documents, and more so everyone can access what they need, when they need it.

Data Collection & Analysis

Turning scattered information into meaningful insights that drive smarter decisions and better programs.

Community Engagement

Helping you truly listen to the people you serve, making it easier to involve communities and respond to their needs.

Fundraising & Donor Relations

Reimagining how you connect with supporters, personalize communications, and build lasting relationships that create reliable funding.

External Communications

Amplifying your voice to reach new audiences and telling your story in ways that build awareness and inspire action.
