Our goal is to support practical work and independent research that helps everyone better understand what safe, responsible AI looks like in the real world.

As AI becomes part of how young people learn, create and communicate, there is a growing need to ensure it is beneficial and safe. Collaboration between youth organizations, independent researchers, and AI developers can help to strengthen understanding of its real-world benefits, while also testing and strengthening safeguards. This grant will support that effort by funding organizations doing important work and helping them expand their impact.

We will support projects that focus on youth safety, wellbeing and AI. For example:

We encourage proposals that produce clear, usable outputs, such as reports, toolkits, policy briefs or tested approaches that others can learn from.
