Today, at the Tech To The Rescue Foundation, we are excited to announce the first Impact Cohort of the AI for Changemakers accelerator program, organized with support from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google.org. This cohort features 10 nonprofits with outstanding achievements in Disaster Management, poised to scale up their interventions and amplify their impact through the use of AI.
What are the benefits for the nonprofits participating in the AI for Changemakers program?
As participants in the AI for Changemakers program, the selected nonprofit organizations will have access to a global network of mentors and AI innovators who have already joined the AI for Changemakers community.
The first phase of their acceleration consists of a 7-week AI Bootcamp. The AI Bootcamp for the first impact cohort (Disaster Management) starts in June 2024 and will be led by industry leaders such as IDEO, Netguru, and Speednet. The goal of the AI Bootcamp is to raise the tech and AI competencies of all participating nonprofits and to help them identify and scope innovative and valuable AI projects for their organizations.
In the second phase, they will enter the AI Sandbox Experience, where the Tech To The Rescue team will support them by matching each organization with tech companies specialized in AI willing to build AI solutions for nonprofits on a pro-bono basis. The pro-bono tech support is the core of the AI for Changemakers program, and we are excited to monitor and inspire the global disaster management community with custom AI innovations for the sector.
