Explore the 2025 AI for Humanity Report

Is your nonprofit using AI? If so, you’re not alone — and your perspective may even be reflected in our latest research 👀. Earlier this year, we sent our survey out to this network and heard back from nearly 200 of you about how your organizations are putting AI to work. The results reveal a fast-evolving landscape: from AI-powered nonprofits embedding AI directly into their solutions, to AI-assisted nonprofits reclaiming time on back-office tasks.

The 2025 AI for Humanity Report is packed with insights and takeaways specifically for nonprofits, including:

• AI is already saving hours: Orgs are drafting full grant proposals in a fraction of the time, translating documents instantly, and even building apps in an afternoon instead of months.
• Small orgs are leading the way: The smallest nonprofits (<$100K budgets) report the highest staff-wide adoption of AI.
• Collaboration is changing the game: 43% of AI-powered nonprofits are open-sourcing their tools. That means you can build on what others have created instead of starting from scratch.

To help you turn our findings into action, we refreshed our Playbook on AI for Humanity and released a new whitepaper, The Philanthropic Reset: How Philanthropy Can Lead in the Age of AI, to explore the blueprint for what we all do next.

Dive into the 2025 AI for Humanity Report and see how nonprofits like yours are reshaping what’s possible with AI.

The Summer We Hosted Bootcamps

Last month, 185 tech nonprofits from around the world joined us for four days of deep dives into AI and data. The Bootcamps mixed fireside chats with founders, demos from tech experts, and hands-on sessions where teams rolled up their sleeves to practice the building blocks of responsible AI and data use. It was all about giving nonprofits the confidence, skills, and community to explore AI with impact in mind.

We pulled the juiciest insights and resources so you can bring them straight into your own work. Check them out in our blog, Data and AI Bootcamps: Our Favorite Takeaways.

Reclamo AI Puts Power Back in Workers’ Hands

Every year, New York’s workers are robbed of $3.2 billion in stolen wages, and most can’t afford the legal help to fight back. Rodrigo Camarena, a leader in immigrant justice and tech for good, saw an opportunity to change that. Enter Reclamo AI: a multilingual, mobile-first assistant built to help low-wage and immigrant workers document and pursue wage theft claims safely and simply. In our latest Humans of AI for Humanity interview, a joint series with the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, Rodrigo shares how AI can close the justice gap and put power back in workers’ hands.
