Humanity AI is a $500 million, five-year pooled philanthropic fund co-led by the Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, and Omidyar Network alongside seven other major U.S. foundations to ensure artificial intelligence is shaped by and for people rather than dictated by a handful of companies. In May 2026 the coalition announced more than $18 million in new grants: $8 million to twelve inaugural grantees (including AI Now Institute, Brookings Institution, Data & Society, Human Rights Data Analysis Group, the London School of Economics, New America, the Pulitzer Center, and the Washington Center for Equitable Growth) and $10 million reserved for a forthcoming public open call launching in summer 2026 that will prioritize communities closest to AI's impact. Funding spans safeguarding democratic institutions, protecting workers' rights, strengthening journalism, advancing education, protecting artists and creators, public-interest AI infrastructure, and AI accountability and governance. Awards in the first round ranged from $500,000 to $2 million.
Humanity AI is a $500 million, five-year coalition initiative launched in October 2025 by ten major U.S. foundations to ensure that people, communities, and the public interest shape how artificial intelligence is built and deployed. The initiative funds work across five priority areas: Democracy (protecting rights and freedoms in an AI era), Education (AI centered on student interests and access), Humanities and Culture (protecting creators, intellectual property, and cultural production), Labor and Economy (using AI to enhance rather than replace workers), and Security (safety standards in AI deployment). A forthcoming 2026 open call of approximately $10 million is designed specifically to bring new voices into AI policy and deployment conversations, with explicit priority for organizations in the U.S. heartland, the South, and rural communities historically underrepresented in tech philanthropy. Inaugural grantees announced in May 2026 include organizations working on AI literacy, labor protections, community AI governance, and creative-sector rights.
