The Mozilla Foundation's Democracy x AI Cohort is a 12-month incubator program funding 10 projects building technology at the intersection of artificial intelligence and democratic governance. Each project receives a $50,000 base grant, with two finalists advancing to a Sustain Track worth an additional $250,000 — for a maximum total of $300,000 per team.
Projects must address one of three categories: (1) better information systems including verification tools, diverse information sources, and algorithmic transparency; (2) institutional transparency and accountability mechanisms; or (3) civic space protection and expansion including organizing tools, privacy technologies, and surveillance resistance.
Beyond funding, selected projects receive monthly cohort calls, expert mentorship, tailored workshops, and access to Mozilla's global network of technologists, activists, and funders. Initial proposals were due March 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific. A shortlist will be invited to submit full proposals by April 15, with final selections announced June 1 and the cohort launching in June 2026.
Applicants must have functional working technology (not just an idea), a committed team able to execute over 12 months, and either open source code or a clear roadmap to open-source at least part of the codebase.

Humanity AI is sponsored by MacArthur Foundation (part of a coalition of funders including Doris Duke Foundation, Ford Foundation, Lumina Foundation, Kapor Foundation, Mellon Foundation, Mozilla Foundation, Omidyar Network, David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and Siegel Family Endowment). Humanity AI is a national initiative launched by a coalition of funders to build a more human(e) future where artificial intelligence (AI) is shaped by and for people.
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.
