F5 2026 STEM and AI Education Grants for Nonprofits Across Africa Asia and Latin America is sponsored by F5 Inc. (F5 Global Good Program). The F5 2026 STEM and AI Education Grants support nonprofits implementing STEM and AI education initiatives that prepare youth and underserved learners in Africa, Asia, and Latin America for the AI-driven economy.

Microsoft AI for Accessibility is a grant program that supports developers, nonprofits, researchers, and startups building artificial intelligence tools that empower people with disabilities and advance disability inclusion. Grants range from $25,000 to $250,000 and may include Azure compute credits, technical support, and access to Microsoft AI experts, with award sizes depending on project scope and available funds. The program targets AI solutions across employment, daily life, and communication that expand accessibility and independence for people with disabilities.

Microsoft's AI for Accessibility programme is a multi-year, USD 25,000,000 commitment funding nonprofits, universities and research organisations that build AI-powered solutions for people with disabilities. Individual grants range from USD 25,000 to USD 250,000, and the current cycle carries a deadline of 31 December 2026 - a year-end date that is unusually generous compared with the tight windows typical of corporate AI grantmaking, and one that rewards taking time to build a properly co-designed proposal rather than rushing. Scope covers AI applied to disability and accessibility across a growing range of tools: reducing barriers, supporting communication, improving independence, and providing caregiving assistance at scale. In practice this spans assistive technology, artificial intelligence, accessibility and software development, and the programme's framing - empowering people living with disabilities - signals that proposals grounded in lived experience and disability community partnership will read more strongly than technically impressive tools designed for rather than with disabled users. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organisations and universities; the programme is generally open across the United States, though applicants should verify specific requirements directly with Microsoft since corporate programmes of this kind can carry country-level and entity-level conditions not stated in summary listings. One practical caveat: the award composition is not published. Microsoft's philanthropic programmes frequently combine cash with Azure credits, and a grant delivered largely as cloud credit funds a very different project plan than an equivalent cash award. Confirming the split with Microsoft before finalising a budget is worth the email. Application preparation involves confirming eligibility, gathering documentation, drafting the narrative and preparing a budget.

NVIDIA's K-12 AI Education Pledge, announced at a White House event aligning with the executive order on Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth, commits $25 million to scale AI literacy in U.S. K-12 classrooms. The initiative integrates NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) and NVIDIA Academy content through two K-12 learning platforms, Study Fetch and CK-12, tailoring hands-on AI experiences for high school students and educators. In year one NVIDIA focuses on curriculum development, platform integration, educator training, institutional engagement, and outreach efforts. The stated reach target is 1 million K-12 students within three years, supporting AI literacy, foundational machine learning skills, and pathways into the AI economy. The pledge complements NVIDIA's prior commitments of $30 million to the National AI Research pilot (NAIRR) and ongoing NSF partnerships supporting academic AI research.
