Google is requesting proposals for their Generative AI Open Call. Selected organizations may receive anywhere from $500k up to $2M+ and participate in the Google.org Accelerator: Generative AI program with access to 6 months of structured support including dedicated pro bono expertise from Google employees, technical training, and Google Cloud credits. This application is open to nonprofits, civic entities, academic institutions, and social enterprises working to solve social impact problems using generative AI technology across Google.org’s focus areas:

Knowledge, Skills, and Learning

• AI Literacy & Fluency – Equip people with a foundational understanding of AI, including the basic knowledge and skills to effectively utilize AI tools and technologies in various contexts.
• Career & Workforce Readiness – Provide industry-aligned digital skills training and comprehensive support to help job seekers land in-demand jobs with pathways to upward mobility and economic opportunity.
• Technology-Enabled Teaching & Learning – Leverage technology and AI to make education more accessible, engaging, and personalized to learners at every level.

Scientific Advancement

Applied Science – Drive impact for top social and environmental issues by catalyzing and enabling cutting-edge AI-enabled solutions. We’re interested in applications that aim to improve scientific discovery, and those that use AI to drive socially beneficial outcomes in domains such as climate, society & AI, and health.

Resilient Communities

• Stronger Societies – Enable individuals to navigate the world safely and responsibly, promoting digital wellbeing, fostering civic engagement and societal debate, and helping create cohesive communities.
• A Safer Internet – Leverage AI and technology to create a safer internet, protecting people and organizations at risk from bad actors and helping those most vulnerable to online harms.
• Crisis Response – Enable rapid action to help communities affected by natural disasters and complex humanitarian crises, and empower the nonprofit ecosystem with the tools it needs to respond.

Large organizations like colleges and universities are permitted to submit multiple applications. We ask that each Project Manager submit only one proposal. Please note, the Google.org Accelerator: Generative AI Open Call is not an opportunity to support research proposals. We are looking for projects with clear visions and action plans that will be applied to impact a specific set of end beneficiaries.

Proposals are due on February 10. Please preview the application and frequently asked questions for more information. Forward this email as appropriate. Our office is happy to work with you on developing your proposal.
