Google.org Launches $20M Generative AI Accelerator for Nonprofits

The program aims to enhance productivity and effectiveness in serving communities through technical training, mentorship, and funding.

Google.org's new accelerator program will fund 21 nonprofits with $20 million to develop generative AI tools that improve community services.
Nonprofits including Quill.org, World Bank, and Tarjimly will receive technical training, workshops, and mentorship to launch their AI-powered projects.
Generative AI is reported to help social impact teams achieve their goals in one third of the time at nearly half the cost.
A majority of nonprofits see generative AI as aligning with their missions, but face barriers such as cost, resources, and a lack of awareness.
Google for Nonprofits program donated over $2 billion in 2023, enabling more than 300,000 nonprofits worldwide to access AI-powered technology at no cost.
