aiEDU Rural & Indigenous Community Catalyst Program — aiEDU aiEDU Community Catalyst Program The future of AI readiness isn’t something that can be changed from the top down. It must be built from the ground up. AI readiness starts with communities The most impactful solutions for AI readiness don’t come from a single organization — they emerge from communities themselves.
Across rural and Indigenous communities, local educators and nonprofit leaders are already taking bold steps to ensure that their students, families, and schools are prepared for an AI-powered world. These local champions understand their communities’ strengths, challenges, and opportunities far better than anyone else. At aiEDU, we believe that real, lasting change happens when communities lead the way.
That’s why we’ve launched the aiEDU Community Catalyst Program — not to “bring AI readiness” to these communities, but to invest in and amplify the work that’s already happening in them. Through the Community Catalyst Program, aiEDU provides local organizations with the resources and capacity they need to scale their efforts in improving AI readiness, teacher empowerment, and systemic innovation.
The aiEDU Community Catalyst Program is a grant initiative dedicated to expanding AI literacy and readiness in historically under-served communities. The program provides funding to local nonprofits and grassroots organizations who are working to empower rural and Indigenous communities through AI Readiness. With support from Google.
org, aiEDU backs several project-based grants to organizations who are committed to fostering AI literacy, professional learning, student engagement, and policy development. Our goal: Ensure that all students, educators, and communities are prepared for an AI-powered future, regardless of geography or access to resources. AI is rapidly transforming the world by reshaping jobs, education, and daily life.
But many rural and Indigenous communities still lack access to AI literacy programs that can equip them with the skills needed to thrive. Through the Community Catalyst Program, we’re aiming to close that gap by funding projects that: Support educators with professional learning and learning communities on AI readiness. Develop AI literacy curricula tailored for rural and Indigenous students.
Host community convenings to foster collaboration and advocacy. Include parents and communities in conversations of what AI is and how it’s changing the way we’ll live, work, and thrive in the future.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students.

Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
