The Atlassian Foundation's Collective Action Open Call 2026 is an 8,000,000 US dollar, two-year open call supporting nonprofit-led coalitions that improve education for disadvantaged learners in the AI era. Individual partnerships can receive up to 1,000,000 US dollars over two years, applications close on 30 October 2026 at 11:59pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time, and the Foundation expects to notify applicants by 31 March 2027.
Registered nonprofit organisations worldwide are eligible, which makes this one of the few AI-and-education funds of this size genuinely open to Global South applicants rather than restricted to a single country. Three features distinguish it from the broader field of nonprofit AI funding.
First, it funds coalitions rather than individual organisations, so the unit of application is a credible multi-organisation partnership with a plan for working together.
Second, it takes a deliberately non-prescriptive stance on AI itself: the call covers education in the AI era including reasoned decisions not to use AI, which means a proposal arguing that a particular learner population is better served by protecting human-led instruction is within scope rather than disqualified.
Third, the funding is bundled with a learning cohort and free Atlassian tooling, so the Foundation is offering a programme rather than a cheque. Applications are submitted through the Foundation's Goodstack nomination portal.

Applicants must satisfy three substantive tests described by the Foundation: demonstrated organisational capacity to deliver at the scale of the request, clear identification of a specific disadvantaged learner population that the work will serve, and credible evidence of collaborative planning with the other members of the proposed coalition. The third test is the decisive one, because this is a collective action instrument: an application from a single organisation, or one in which partner organisations have been named without their substantive involvement in designing the work, does not meet the structure the call is funding, and applicants should be able to show how the coalition was formed, how decisions will be made and how funds will be allocated between members. The thematic frame is education for disadvantaged learners in the AI era, and the Foundation explicitly includes within scope reasoned choices not to use AI, so applicants should not feel obliged to centre an AI deployment; what is required is a serious position on how AI changes the educational prospects of the learner population in question. Awards run over two years and carry non-financial obligations, including participation in a learning cohort alongside other grantees and use of Atlassian tools. Applications close on 30 October 2026 at 11:59pm AEDT through the Foundation's Goodstack portal, with notification expected by 31 March 2027. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows the open call commits a total of 8,000,000 US dollars over two years and each partnership may receive up to 1,000,000 US dollars over the two-year period, so amount_max is recorded as 1,000,000 and amount_min is also recorded as 1,000,000 because the Foundation publishes a ceiling without a floor. The 8,000,000 dollar pool against a 1,000,000 dollar ceiling implies roughly eight to perhaps a dozen partnerships depending on how many are funded below the maximum, and because the instrument is explicitly aimed at coalitions rather than single organisations, the per-partnership award has to be divided among coalition members, which means the effective amount reaching any one organisation is a fraction of the headline figure. Applicants should build the budget as a coalition budget from the start, with an explicit allocation across partners and a named fiscal lead, since an award is made to a partnership rather than to a single grantee. Two further points shape the financial picture. First, the award is spread over two years, so the annual run rate at the ceiling is around 500,000 US dollars for the whole coalition. Second, the Foundation pairs the money with non-financial support, specifically participation in a learning cohort and free access to Atlassian software tools, which has real value for coalition coordination but also implies an in-kind time commitment from grantee staff that should be budgeted as effort. Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.

The OpenAI Foundation's People-First AI Fund provides unrestricted grants to U.S.-based nonprofit and community organizations to strengthen civil society in the age of AI. The fund focuses on three areas: Community Support Services, Community Arts & Cultural Organizations, and Community Journalism & Media. Its inaugural round delivered approximately $40.5 million in unrestricted grants to 208 nonprofits across the United States, with an additional $9.5 million in board-directed grants, for a $50 million total commitment. Grants are unrestricted, allowing recipients to apply funds where they are most needed. Future rounds are anticipated.
The GitLab Foundation's AI for Economic Opportunity Fund, run in partnership with OpenAI, awards demonstration grants to nonprofits using AI to measurably improve income growth and economic mobility for low-income populations worldwide. Selected organizations receive $250,000 in catalytic funding to prototype and demonstrate progress, six months of cohort-based technical support from OpenAI engineers and advisors, API credits, mentorship, and eligibility for scaling grants from partner philanthropies. The latest $4 million round funded 16 U.S.-based nonprofits, with the demonstration phase running February through August 2026 and culminating in a Demo Day at OpenAI's San Francisco headquarters. The foundation has stated that applications for future funding opportunities will open in summer 2026.
The GitLab Foundation's AI for Economic Opportunity Fund backs early-stage, high-conviction projects that use artificial intelligence to raise incomes and expand economic mobility, and it is co-funded by OpenAI together with the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Ballmer Group. Each grantee receives 250,000 US dollars in catalytic demonstration funding plus six months of engineering support from OpenAI engineers, API credits, cohort-based technical advising, peer learning and eligibility for follow-on scaling capital. The combination of money and embedded engineering capacity is what makes this fund distinctive: most AI philanthropy gives non-profits either cash or credits, and very few give them access to engineers who have built production systems at a frontier lab. Priority areas are service delivery costs, agent interoperability, personalised learning, skills validation and labour market intelligence, which together describe a coherent thesis that the binding constraint on economic mobility programmes is the unit cost and personalisation of human-delivered services. The fund supports US-based non-profits, though the projects themselves may be implemented globally. Competition is severe and getting more so: the March 2026 cohort of 16 organisations, the largest since launch, was selected from more than 800 applications, and the foundation has now deployed more than 10,000,000 US dollars across more than 50 organisations since 2023. Application rounds are announced periodically rather than on a fixed annual calendar.
