Public-Interest AI
Supporting AI initiatives that deliver measurable social value
We fund public-interest AI
to build stronger institutions, widen access,
and shape responsible international development.
The International AI Development Foundation (IAIDF) is a nonprofit grantmaking institution. We direct philanthropic capital toward research, education, governance, and implementation efforts that help artificial intelligence deliver broad public value across countries, sectors, and communities.
iaidf.org is the public home of IAIDF: a funding-led foundation focused on responsible AI development, institutional readiness, and long-term public benefit.
Funding Priorities
How We Fund
We fund where philanthropic capital can move early, strengthen serious operators, and improve how AI is researched, governed, and deployed in real institutional settings. Our emphasis is practical: public value, execution capacity, and long-term field benefit.
Programs & Insights
-
IAIDF supports nonprofit organizations, research institutions, and implementation-oriented partners working to ensure AI serves public needs with credibility, access, and operational usefulness.
-
AI development is increasingly global, but institutional capacity remains uneven. IAIDF funds education, applied research, and cross-border partnerships that help more regions participate responsibly and effectively.
-
We believe durable AI progress depends on collaboration across philanthropy, academia, public institutions, and civil society. Our role is to help strengthen that ecosystem with focused funding and practical partnership.
