Desafio IA Natureza e Clima is an open call run by Brazil's Instituto Clima e Sociedade, funded by a Google. org donation of roughly 18,000,000 Brazilian reais, about 3,000,000 US dollars, with technical backing from the Instituto de Tecnologia e Sociedade.
It funds digital technology solutions, with artificial intelligence as the stated priority, that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve biodiversity and strengthen ecosystem resilience in Brazil.
Three thematic pillars define the scope: regenerative agriculture, including soil health analysis, carbon chain traceability, smarter agrochemical use and crop management; reversing biodiversity loss, including conservation, forest restoration, ecological corridors and deforestation and fire prevention; and bioeconomy, including valorisation of forest products, supply chain monitoring and policy-relevant data systems.
Up to nine projects will be supported, seven chosen by an independent jury and up to two additional selections by iCS, with a published minimum of 1,800,000 reais per organisation, approximately 330,000 US dollars.
The programme is notable as one of the few substantial AI-for-environment funds designed around a single Global South country's ecological priorities rather than a global open call, and its emphasis on the Amazon-adjacent bioeconomy and on smallholder-benefiting regenerative agriculture reflects that. Project implementation runs to October 2027.
No deadline is recorded here because the published application window, which opened 11 March and closed 22 April, has passed; interested organisations should watch for a subsequent round.

The call is specific to Brazil: it supports AI-enabled solutions from Brazilian non-profit organisations and research centres addressing Brazilian climate and biodiversity priorities, so applicants based outside Brazil are not eligible even for work on Brazilian ecosystems. Proposals must fall within one of three thematic pillars. Regenerative agriculture covers soil health analysis, carbon chain traceability, smart agrochemical use and crop management. Reversing biodiversity loss covers conservation, forest restoration, ecological corridors and deforestation and fire prevention. Bioeconomy covers valorisation of timber and non-timber forest products, supply chain monitoring and policy-relevant data systems. Artificial intelligence is the priority technology, but iCS states that solutions using other technologies are welcome, including remote sensing, monitoring systems and decision-support tools, so the gate is technological substance rather than AI specifically. Projects are evaluated on degree of innovation and potential impact, and must reach implementation by October 2027, which implies the proposal must describe deliverable deployment rather than open-ended research. Selection runs through an independent jury for seven awards, with up to two further selections made directly by iCS. No deadline is recorded here because the published window of 11 March to 22 April has closed. Prospective applicants should consult climaesociedade.org and the edital pages, and may contact edital@climaesociedade.org, noting that all programme documentation is in Portuguese. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.
The current listing shows the call publishes a minimum grant of 1,800,000 Brazilian reais per selected organisation, which converts to approximately 330,000 US dollars, and because that figure is a published floor with no stated ceiling, amount_min and amount_max are both recorded as 330,000 as the best available approximation. The total fund is approximately 18,000,000 reais, about 3,000,000 US dollars, donated by Google.org, supporting up to nine projects: seven selected by an independent jury and up to two additional selections made by iCS. Dividing 18,000,000 reais across nine projects gives an average near 2,000,000 reais, so awards somewhat above the published minimum should be expected, and applicants should not assume the floor is the cap. Two features of the structure matter for budgeting. First, these are large grants by Brazilian non-profit standards and are intended to fund delivery rather than exploration, with an implementation deadline of October 2027, so a proposal needs a plan that reaches working deployment within roughly two years rather than a research agenda. Second, the funder treats AI as the priority technology but explicitly welcomes solutions using other technologies including remote sensing, monitoring systems and decision-support tools, which means a proposal does not need to be AI-centric to be competitive but does need a clear technological core. Applicants should also note the currency risk: the award is denominated in reais, so the dollar value recorded here moves with the exchange rate. Verify award ceilings, matching requirements, and allowable costs in the official notice.

Humanity AI is a 500,000,000 dollar, five-year pooled fund launched in October 2025 by ten major U.S. foundations, co-led by the MacArthur Foundation, the Ford Foundation and Omidyar Network, to mobilise civil society in shaping how artificial intelligence develops. It is the largest coordinated philanthropic commitment on AI to date. Partner-aligned grantmaking began in autumn 2025 and grants from the pooled fund itself began in 2026, with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors serving as fiscal sponsor. This record covers the fund's first open call for grants, which directs 10,000,000 dollars to community-led projects across three issue areas: education, shaping AI around student and educator interests while safeguarding against risks; labor and economy, ensuring AI enhances rather than replaces work and creates inclusive economic opportunity; and the humanities, arts and culture, enhancing creativity while protecting artists' work. The call is notable for two features that distinguish it from most AI philanthropy. First, it explicitly invites applicants who have not typically seen themselves as having a role in shaping AI, naming workers, students, scholars and artists as the constituencies it wants leading proposals, which signals a lower bar on prior AI technical credentials than most AI funds. Second, the fund gives priority consideration to projects using open-weight or open-source AI models over closed-weight models, which is a substantive technical constraint that should shape proposal design rather than a preference to be noted in passing.
The Foresight Institute's AI for Science and Safety Nodes request for proposals funds work at the intersection of accelerating science with AI and making AI systems safe, and it is structured less like a conventional grant than like admission to a research hub. Successful applicants receive a cash grant, typically 30,000 to 100,000 US dollars, together with access to a private compute cluster and office space at Foresight's San Francisco or Berlin nodes. Three focus areas are named: Local Compute, concerning decentralised and locally-run AI capability; Coordination and Accountability, covering mechanisms such as AI insurance and open governance; and AI-First Science across biology, neuroscience and nanotechnology. The programme is deliberately open to individuals, teams and organisations, both non-profit and for-profit, which makes it one of the few credible funding routes for unaffiliated researchers and very small teams working on AI safety and AI-for-science questions that fall outside university and large-foundation structures. Two conditions shape what the award is good for: overhead is capped at 10 per cent of direct research costs, which effectively rules out hosting the work inside a high-indirect-rate university, and all work products including code, data and outputs must be open source. Selection prioritises applicants who will be active in-person contributors at the physical nodes. The application deadline is 31 October 2026 at 23:59 Pacific time, which makes this one of the few AI safety opportunities currently open.
The Boston Foundation's FY27 Fall Safety Net round closes October 30, 2026: $50,000 in two-year general operating support, paid as $25,000 annual installments, reviewed in a 100 percent community-led process. Three-year operating history and year-round programming are hard gates. Here is what changes about an application when nonprofit leaders, not program officers, make the recommendation.
