Who we work with


Bending the arc of AI towards the public interest requires innovative forms of partnership across civil society, governments, philanthropy, and the private sector. 

We support and fund non-profit organisations, researchers, and social entrepreneurs, advise public institutions, innovate with mission-aligned companies, and collaborate, co-fund and ideate with funders to think, learn, and act together.
