The Bezos Earth Fund AI for Climate and Nature Grand Challenge is a multi-year program of up to $100 million to accelerate climate and nature solutions by funding innovative approaches that leverage modern artificial intelligence for greater speed, scale, accuracy, and precision.
Funding focus areas include sustainable proteins, power grid optimization, and biodiversity conservation, alongside visionary wildcard solutions for climate and nature.
The challenge runs in two phases: Phase I awards seed grants and invites teams into an Innovation Sprint, while Phase II provides substantial implementation grants to the most promising teams to deploy and scale AI-driven climate and nature applications in the real world.

Fellows are embedded with host organizations (universities, NGOs, advocacy groups, news organizations) and receive a stipend plus a network of peers and amplification support. Mozilla has invested over $35 million across the last decade in building a better technology future. The 2026 cohort prioritizes Trustworthy AI and information ecosystem resilience.
Schmidt Sciences' AI in Science and Society initiative funds development of innovative AI tools that accelerate progress in engineering, physical sciences, and complex system design while also examining AI's societal implications. Funded scope includes domain-adapted foundation models for engineering and physical sciences, generative AI for materials discovery and molecular design, AI for complex system simulation and control, autonomous experimental platforms, and interdisciplinary projects bridging AI methods with deep scientific domains. The program also supports work on the societal context of scientific AI including responsible release, equitable access, and human-AI collaboration in scientific practice.
The Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
Read articleMacKenzie Scott's Yield Giving has moved more than $26 billion — including roughly $7 billion in 2025, over a third of all U.S. megagifts — through unrestricted, trust-based grants with no application. Melinda French Gates's Pivotal Ventures has committed $2 billion to women's health and economic power. The Bezos philanthropies have moved billions more. As the Buffett–Gates era winds down, this new class of megadonor is rewriting the rules of major giving. Here is what changes for nonprofits, and how to become the kind of organization this money finds.
Read articleOn June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
