We distribute targeted funding and provide strategic support to empower diverse public interest groups across Europe with the capacity and skills to shape AI policy and debates.
In 2024 we launched the Build & Breakthrough Initiatives to scale our grantmaking to meet the growing AI challenge:
The Build Initiative empowers diverse tech and social justice groups from around Europe with sustained and flexible funding to shape the direction of AI in the public interest.
The Breakthrough Initiative targets €10 million of investments to challenge the harmful impacts of AI and build an alternative agenda for how AI could serve people and society.
The European AI & Society Fund is not currently accepting requests for funding. Sign up to our newsletter to stay up-to-date with open calls for proposals.
