Fund AI literacy for the generation that needs it most.
Five companies control 71% of the world's AI compute. The generation that will live longest with AI's consequences has the least access to clear, honest explanation of what it does and how to question it. We are building that explanation — free, open, and youth-led.
What your support enables
Every level of funding has concrete outcomes. These follow directly from what the initiative is already doing.
Content production becomes consistent.
Weekly video and article output, a proper production pipeline, and a structured editorial calendar covering AI safety, AI risk, and responsible AI.
The first flagship research experiment ships properly.
Design budget, time for a focused data investigation, and documentation so any researcher can build on the work.
The initiative scales.
Dedicated content coordination, talks in multiple cities and online events, content program reaches a significantly wider audience, second language track added.
This becomes infrastructure.
Full-time coordination, open data API expands to 30+ countries, a free AI safety literacy curriculum released for youth educators globally.
Scenarios are cumulative. Full breakdown: read the roadmap.
Why fund us, not a bigger org
International AI organizations are well-funded and based in San Francisco, Brussels, or London. They produce good work. They do not produce AI safety content for young audiences outside the tech ecosystem. We do.
Youth-led and youth-focused. The generation that will live with AI's consequences is almost entirely absent from the conversations about it. We exist to change that — creating content by and for young people on AI safety and responsible AI.
A gap no one else is filling. International AI organizations produce good work. They do not produce AI safety content specifically designed for young audiences who are not already in the tech ecosystem. We do.
Open by default. Every dataset, tool, and piece of content we produce is free and MIT-licensed. Funding us is funding infrastructure the whole community inherits.
Already active. We are not a plan. We are an operating initiative looking to scale. The roadmap page shows what different levels of support make possible.
What you get
Specific, not ceremonial.
Quarterly impact reports
Content reach, research experiments shipped, talks given, languages covered. Public, so we cannot hide a bad quarter.
Recognition
On the site, in the manifesto signatory block, and in every shipped project's README. Or full anonymity — your choice.
Direct access to the work
Early access to research findings, optional input on the editorial calendar, invitations to speaking events.
Co-authored research
If your foundation publishes on AI literacy, AI access gaps, or AI adoption, we will co-author. Our open data projects are the seed of this.
What this funding does not cover
Worth stating directly so you can decide if we are the right fit.
Building production software or apps. We make content, explainers, and research experiments — not applications.
Lobbying or political advocacy. We do science communication and public education, not policy campaigns.
A scaling-to-10-countries-by-2027 headcount plan. We start small, ship well, and design the work to fork rather than expand by hiring.
If you are looking for any of the above, we will refer you to organizations doing those things well.
