Today, Google is announcing the 20 organizations joining the newest Google.org Accelerator: Generative AI cohort. These organizations, which will utilize generative AI to tackle significant societal challenges such as crisis response, antimicrobial resistance, and children’s mental health, were selected through an open call for nonprofits, social enterprises, civic entities, and universities. Each organization will receive a share of $30 million, along with six months of technical training, pro bono support from Google’s AI experts, and access to Google Cloud credits.

Google.org launched the Generative AI Accelerator in 2024 to extend the advantages of AI to the social sector by equipping nonprofits with funding and technical expertise. The opportunity is evident: in a recent Google.org survey, nearly two-thirds of nonprofits using AI tools reported increased confidence in fulfilling their organization’s mission through the use of AI applications and features, yet only one in five indicated that at least half of their organization utilizes generative AI. Now, seven months after graduating, members of our first cohort, such as Tabiya—a nonprofit addressing global youth unemployment—are experiencing the benefits. Tabiya has connected with more than 8,000 job seekers in half the time and at a quarter of the cost, thanks to Compass, an open-source conversational agent built using Gemini.
