The Mozilla Foundation Democracy x AI Cohort funds 10 projects building AI tools that strengthen democratic institutions and civic participation. Base grants of $50,000 per project are awarded, with top performers eligible for an additional $250,000 through the Sustain Track, totaling up to $300,000. The cohort runs for 12 months starting June 2026.
Focus areas include information ecosystem resilience (misinformation countermeasures, verification systems, algorithmic transparency), institutional transparency (government tools, public data infrastructure), and civic space protection (privacy-preserving tools, surveillance resistance). All funded projects must commit to open-source release of code or provide a clear roadmap.

The Wellcome Trust funds research applying generative AI to mental health, specifically anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and psychotic disorders. Awards of up to £3 million (approximately USD $3.8 million) support up to 2 years of research following a 4-month accelerator stage. The program supports two research areas: (1) creating or improving generative AI models for mental health measurement and intervention, and (2) generating evidence on safe collaboration between generative models, mental health professionals, and people with lived experience. The program explicitly does not fund real-world deployment or broader population applications, focusing instead on fundamental research. Teams receive accelerator support before the full grant phase.
Open Philanthropy's landmark Technical AI Safety Research RFP is one of the largest dedicated funding programs for AI safety research, committing approximately $40 million across 21 research directions organized into five clusters. The clusters include: (1) Adversarial Machine Learning — jailbreak detection, control evaluations, and alignment stress tests; (2) Sophisticated Misbehavior — alignment faking, deceptive behavior, and hidden capability detection; (3) Model Transparency — interpretability applications, activation monitoring, and feature discovery; (4) Trust from First Principles — rare misbehavior estimation and theoretical inductive biases; (5) Alternative Approaches — conceptual clarity on AGI risks and novel alignment agendas. The application process begins with a streamlined 300-word Expression of Interest (EOI), with responses within two weeks. Promising EOIs are invited to submit full proposals, with funding decisions approximately two months later. The program explicitly supports research on large language models or work with transferable insights to LLMs. Administered through Coefficient Giving, the fund draws on contributions from Good Ventures and over 20 additional philanthropists.
The Coefficient Giving AI Governance RFP funds research and projects addressing catastrophic risks from advanced AI through governance mechanisms. The program supports six primary subject areas: (1) Technical AI governance including compute governance, model evaluations, and standards development; (2) Policy development for AI regulation and oversight; (3) Frontier company policies to improve internal safety and governance practices; (4) International AI governance frameworks and cooperation; (5) Legal frameworks for AI accountability and liability; and (6) Strategic analysis and threat modeling of AI risks. Funded activities include research projects, training and mentorship programs, general organizational support, and other innovative projects. The program is open to applicants worldwide from academia, nonprofits, industry, and independent researchers. While the January 2026 deadline has passed, Coefficient Giving has indicated that future AI governance RFPs are likely as they continue proactive grantmaking in this area. The fund draws on contributions from Good Ventures and over 20 philanthropists.
