This opportunity
seeks bold projects that use AI to expand economic mobility — from unlocking
data for impact, to making services more affordable, to helping workers
navigate education and job pathways. It is seeking projects that improve
economic opportunity for people with low incomes—whether by streamlining access
to services and benefits, enhancing labor market matching, deploying
personalized career guidance, implementing adaptive learning systems, improving
public program efficiency, or overcoming language and accessibility barriers.

In this round,  bold proposals that show how AI can
meaningfully transform the systems that shape economic opportunity are invited.
Examples include reimagining service delivery, unlocking new forms of
personalized education and training, improving efficiency at scale, or creating
entirely new ways to connect people with income, skills, benefits, and
opportunity. We welcome both transformative approaches and incremental
applications, so long as they hold the potential to drive lasting, meaningful
change.

Selected grantees will receive:

• $250,000 seed funding to
  prototype and demonstrate progress
• Six months of technical
  support from OpenAI engineers and advisors
• API credits and peer learning
  with a network of leading practitioners and funders
• Eligibility for additional
  scaling capital from partner funders
• Opportunity to showcase work
  at a Demo Day in August/September 2026.

Grant contracts will
be one year in length.
