The Rockefeller Foundation launched a three-year, $100 million Good Jobs for America strategy on April 21, 2026 to help communities connect people to good jobs and adapt to rapid technological change including AI disruption. Focus sectors include healthcare and the care economy, energy transition, food systems, and AI-enabled industries. The foundation partners with local groups and policymakers to test new policies and programs including AI job training pathways, expanded childcare access, and streamlined credentialing. Plans to start with 20-30 pilot communities and scale proven approaches to 250 communities nationwide. Targets creation of 1.6 million additional good jobs and lifting approximately one-quarter of America's most distressed communities.

The Rockefeller Foundation AI Readiness Project, launched in partnership with the Center for Civic Futures, builds state government capacity for responsible AI adoption across the United States. The initiative funds state-level pilots that help state agencies understand, evaluate, and responsibly deploy artificial intelligence in public services. The project began with 30 states in its initial phase and is expanding to cover all 50 states plus territories and Tribal Nations by 2026. Each state pilot includes AI readiness assessments for government agencies, training programs for state employees on responsible AI use, development of AI governance frameworks at the state level, and building a public knowledge hub of best practices and shared resources. This is one of the few major philanthropic investments specifically targeting state-level AI governance and capacity, recognizing that state governments are critical but often under-resourced actors in AI policy implementation. The initiative complements federal AI governance efforts by ensuring states have the tools and knowledge to implement responsible AI practices in public services.
