The Gates Foundation AI to Accelerate Charitable Giving Grand Challenge funds innovative AI solutions that transform philanthropic giving for global health and development. The program asks: How might AI support donors to give more and give sooner?
Three challenge areas are targeted: (1) Donor Discovery — AI tools connecting donors to causes and understanding impact potential; (2) Conversion — solutions reducing barriers from donation intent to action; and (3) Infrastructure — foundational systems ensuring philanthropic data visibility to AI systems.
Projects should focus on global health and development priorities including health improvement and poverty reduction in low- and middle-income countries. This is a distinct program from the Gates Foundation AI Fellows Program, administered through the Grand Challenges portal. Applicants must demonstrate responsible AI practices addressing bias, privacy, and data governance.

The Wellcome Trust Generative AI for Anxiety, Depression and Psychosis program funds fundamental research on using generative AI to improve the measurement or treatment of three major mental health conditions: anxiety disorders, depression, and psychotic disorders. Awards of up to £3 million support research teams of 2-8 members with expertise spanning mental health research, generative AI, AI ethics, and lived experience of mental health conditions. The program supports two main research directions: (1) creating or improving generative models specifically for mental health measurement and intervention, and (2) developing evidence on how humans, AI systems, and clinicians can collaborate safely and efficiently in mental health contexts. Notably, this program funds fundamental research only and explicitly excludes real-world deployment of AI tools. The program includes an accelerator stage where teams refine proposals before submitting full funded research applications. This represents one of the largest dedicated investments in AI for mental health research globally, reflecting Wellcome's strategic priority in understanding and treating mental health conditions.
