Registered nonprofits can apply between 1–30 October 2026 for partnership grants that fund collective action to support disadvantaged learners as education adapts to emerging technology.
Eligibility: Lead applicants must be registered nonprofits participating in a collective action initiative that provides direct relief to a defined disadvantaged beneficiary group.
Scope: Projects should focus on evolving education so AI expands access and narrows gaps, and may include deliberate choices not to use AI.
# What this open call offers
# Who should apply
# What the Foundation is seeking The Foundation wants partnerships that help education evolve so that emerging technology, including AI, closes learning gaps rather than widening them. This is framed as practical, outcome‑oriented work rather than technology for its own sake. Proposals can include deliberate, reasoned choices not to use AI where appropriate.
# Funding, support and conditions Funding: Up to US$1 million per selected partnership, paid over two years. Grants are capped at 25% of the lead organisation's operating budget for the same two‑year period.
Non‑financial support: Funded partners will be invited to a learning cohort for peer exchange. Optional support includes access to Atlassian's teamwork tools, support and resources tailored to partners' needs.
# Key dates and process
Shortlisted applicants will enter a dialogue phase. Applicants should read the eligibility checklist and the application guide before applying.
# How to prepare a competitive application
# Practical next steps
# Bottom line This open call is for established, partnership‑based programmes that can show direct relief to a defined disadvantaged group and a clear plan for steering education through the transition driven by AI. Funding is substantial but competitive and tied to operating budget limits and cohort participation commitments.
