Research GrantsThe Future of Life Institute Call for proposals evaluating the impact of AIThe Future of Life Institute is calling for proposals for research evaluating in detail how artificial intelligence (AI) has so far impacted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relating to poverty, healthcare, energy and climate change, and how it can be expected to impact them in the near future. This research can examine either cases where AI is intended to address respective SDGs directly, or where AI has affected the realisation of these goals by its side effects. Each paper should select one SDG or target, analyse the impact of AI on its realisation up to the present, and explore the ways in which AI could accelerate, inhibit, or prove irrelevant to, the achievement of that goal by 2030. We acknowledge that AI is a broad term, encompassing systems that are both narrow and general with varying degrees of capability. Hence, for the purposes of this RFP we encourage using this taxonomy as a guide for exploring and categorising AI’s current and future uses.
Loss and Damage Youth Grantmaking Council grantsThe Loss and Damage Youth Grantmaking Council (LDYGC), in collaboration with the Climate Justice Resilience Fund (CJRF) & Open Society Foundations, has opened call for application for its new $275,000 grant cycle aimed at concrete actions to address the impact of climate change in vulnerable communities. By concrete action, we mean tangible measures taken to tackle loss and damage in vulnerable communities within the areas of focus outlined in the section below. Thus, this grant cycle excludes any application with a central focus on capacity building and awareness campaigns unless it’s a highly important component, without which the project fails to achieve its initial goal.
MIT SOLVE 2024 Global Economic Prosperity ChallengeMIT Solve seeks exceptional solutions leveraging technology to increase peace and prosperity. Our focus for 2024 centers on solutions that:
Mama Cash Resilience FundThe Resilience Fund gives priority to smaller and emerging groups that are doing critically important work but have limited access to funding. In addition to funding registered, formal organisations, we are open to funding informal or unregistered groups of activists, as well as networks or coalitions. The average grant size under the Resilience Fund is €35,000. Eligibility Criteria:
Better World Books 2024 Literacy GrantsThe grant offers a unique opportunity for organizations dedicated to fostering early literacy in children from birth to five years old. This year's grants are designed to support Early Reader Projects that make a significant impact on young minds and contribute to building a foundation for a lifelong love of reading.
USAID PRO-WASH & SCALE Small Grants ProgramDecolonization of aid. Participatory processes. Community-led programming. These terms are routinely used by humanitarian and development practitioners with an earnest desire to further localization and sustainability objectives. However, many of the tools and approaches that practitioners use (social and behavior change, barrier analysis, community visioning, farmer or youth-led assessments, and others) have been developed outside of the countries and communities where they are ultimately used and may carry with them embedded perspectives, assumptions, and biases of implementer and/or donor mindsets and experience.
The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation FundThe Fund has been established to provide targeted grants to individual species conservation initiatives, recognize leaders in the field and elevate the importance of species in the broader conservation debate. Its focus is global and eligibility for grants will extend to all plant, animal and fungi species conservation efforts, without discrimination on the basis of region or selected species.
American Psychological Foundation Visionary GrantsThe APF Visionary Grants seek to seed innovation through supporting research, education and intervention projects and programs that use psychology to solve social problems in the following priority areas:
Preference will be given to pilot projects that, if successful, would be strong candidates for support from major federal and foundation funding agencies, and “demonstration projects” that promise to generalize broadly to similar settings in other geographical areas and/or to other settings.
