The Mozilla Foundation Democracy x AI Incubator funds technology projects that strengthen democratic institutions and civic participation through responsible AI. This cohort supports 10 projects at $50,000 each for 12 months, with top performers eligible for Tier II funding of $250,000.
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.
The incubator provides mentorship, peer learning, and connections to Mozilla's network alongside financial support. Applications require working technology with demonstrated traction, a committed team capable of 12-month execution, and at least partial open-source commitment or a clear roadmap to open source. This is distinct from other Mozilla programs and specifically targets the intersection of AI and democratic resilience.

The Climate Change AI Innovation Grants program supports projects that address research and deployment challenges in climate change mitigation, adaptation, and climate science by leveraging AI and machine learning, while also creating publicly available datasets and tools to catalyze further work. The program enables key partnerships that accelerate the research-to-deployment cycle, creating synergies between academic researchers, nonprofits, startups and other companies, and governmental or intergovernmental organizations. Funded by the Quadrature Climate Foundation, Schmidt Futures, and Google DeepMind, with Future Earth serving as fiscal sponsor, this is one of the few dedicated grant programs specifically targeting the intersection of AI/ML and climate change. Projects typically involve climate modeling, weather prediction, emissions monitoring, energy optimization, biodiversity monitoring, and other environmental applications of machine learning. The 2026 competition opens with a full proposal deadline of September 15, 2026. The program has grown steadily since its inception, funding 23 projects to date across diverse climate domains and geographies.
