AI for Good Foundation

What AI for Good Foundation does

AI for Good Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity incorporated in Delaware in 2015 and headquartered in Lewes, United States, that applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to humanitarian crises and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Its core product portfolio divides into two clusters. The Humanitarian Aid cluster comprises LifeForce/MySyla, a real-time aid-matching platform connecting Ukrainian civilians to 37,000+ service locations across food, shelter, medicine, and healthcare, supported by 40+ full-time in-country staff; Svidok, an encrypted war-journal platform for documenting civilian experiences of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and recognized by Ukraine's regional governments; and Eureka, an intelligent assistant designed to help refugees navigate integration bureaucracy. The SDG and Analytics cluster includes the SDG Data Catalog, an NLP-mined global database of SDG-relevant datasets and research networks; Climate Trend Scanner and SDG Trend Scanner, ML systems commissioned by UNDP for real-time tracking of climate solutions and sustainability trends; and the DEI Scorecard, an AI tool intended to publish monthly diversity metrics for 1.3M+ US organizations.

The organization's business model is donation-driven rather than commercial. Revenue is generated through individual, corporate, foundation, and government contributions, with stated near-100% allocation of Ukraine donations to programmatic expenses and GuideStar Platinum Transparency certification reinforcing donor trust. Distribution occurs via the AI4Good.org donation portal, cryptocurrency rails through Every.org, merchandise on Bonfire, and direct programmatic partnerships with the Government of Ukraine, Poland's PomagamUkrainie initiative, UNDP, Microsoft, Cisco Foundation, UC Berkeley, ACM, and INFORMS. The go-to-market motion is community-led: a global Council for Good, Summer Fellowship Program for undergraduate through post-doctoral researchers, and the SDG Catalyst incubator channel academic and startup talent into AI-for-social-impact projects.
