Nyengkuyung Komunitas: Kenalana Panampa Hibah People-First AI Fund 2026

Dina iki OpenAI Foundation ngumumake 163 organisasi sing dipilih⁠ kanggo nampa dana gunggunge $50 yuta liwat People-First AI Fund 2026. Organisasi kasebut dumunung ing 35 negara bagean AS lan Washington, D.C., sarta nglayani masyarakat padesan lan kutha ing saindenging negara. Klompok panampa kapindho iki nerusake People-First AI Fund kapisan kanthi dana $50 yuta⁠ sing diluncurake yayasan iki ing taun 2025.

Liwat hibah sing ora diwatesi panganggone, kita menehi sumber daya lan kaluwesan marang lembaga sing dipercaya iki kanggo njajaki carane AI bisa nguwatake pakaryane—lan carane warga sarta komunitas sing dilayani bisa melu nggunakake lan nemtokake panganggone. Dana iki nyengkuyung organisasi nirlaba ing saben tataran sinau lan uji coba AI, saka sing lagi wiwit takon apa wae sing bisa ditindakake nganggo teknologi iki nganti sing lagi nguji piranti gaweyan bebarengan karo komunitas. Tujuwane kita yaiku nyengkuyung peran kepemimpinane nalika ngupaya mangerteni teknologi iki, dampake, lan panganggone sing paling cocog kanggo misine.

Organisasi nirlaba lokal kerep dadi papan sing dituju wong sepisanan: kanggo njaluk pitulungan babagan omah utawa tunjangan disabilitas, ngrasakake kabungahan saka seni, utawa mangerteni keputusan sing mengaruhi lingkungane. Adhedhasar piwulang saka program dana 2025 lan saran saka komunitas, program taun iki fokus marang telung prioritas: layanan pitulungan masyarakat, organisasi seni lan budaya komunitas, sarta jurnalistik lan media komunitas.

Wiwit dirancang, program dana iki ora kaiket karo produk tartamtu: panampa hibah bebas sakabehe milih—utawa ora nggunakake—piranti utawa platform apa wae sing dianggep paling cocog kanggo pakaryan lan komunitase. Para pelamar njlentrehake maneka produk AI sing wis digunakake utawa sing pengin disinaoni luwih jero, sarta pitakonan sing durung kajawab lan isih pengin dijajaki ngenani panganggone AI ing komunitase.

Umume panampa hibah taun iki minangka mitra anyar program dana iki, bebarengan karo sawetara panampa hibah sing bali nampa maneh. Ing ngisor iki kita ngenalake sawetara panampa hibah, lan dhaptar pepak miturut urutan abjad bisa dideleng ing kene⁠.

Layanan Pitulungan Masyarakat

Organisasi nirlaba adhedhasar komunitas dadi panuntun sing dipercaya, mbantu warga entuk pitulungan hukum, omah, pangan, layanan disabilitas, lan tunjangan penting liyane. Organisasi iki mbantu warga mangerteni pilihane lan ngliwati sistem sing angel diurus dhewe, luwih-luwih nalika alangan basa, proses sing ruwet, utawa winatese layanan lokal ndadekake pitulungan luwih angel digayuh.

Ing antarane kabeh panampa hibah, akeh organisasi sing njajaki AI kanggo ningkatake administrasi lan operasional, kanthi tujuan supaya staf duwe wektu luwih akeh kanggo warga sing dilayani. Organisasi nirlaba adhedhasar komunitas uga weruh kesempatan kanggo nerjemahake lan ngrangkum informasi, mangerteni lan njlentrehake kabijakan tunjangan sing ruwet, sarta nggampangake pangajuan supaya warga bisa entuk tuntunan sing cetha lan cocog nalika mbutuhake.

Organisasi Seni lan Budaya Komunitas

Organisasi seni lan budaya mbukak dalan menyang pengalaman kreatif, nyedhiyakake papan kanggo ngrungokake musik, nggawe karya seni, nyinaoni sejarah lokal, lan sesambungan karo tangga teparo. Organisasi iki menehi kesempatan marang warga kanggo melu ing urip kabudayan lan mbantu komunitas nglestarekake sarta nuduhake critane.

Akeh pelamar sing kepengin njajaki utawa nggunakake AI kanggo nguwatake lan njaga partisipasi ing kegiyatane—kayata mbantu nggayuh donor, mangerteni pamiarsa, utawa mbantu administrasi internal—kanthi pangarep-arep supaya tim cilik duwe wektu luwih akeh kanggo nyengkuyung seniman lan program komunitas. Organisasi liyane lagi njajaki carane AI bisa nyengkuyung karya kreatif liwat wujud pagelaran, crita, lan partisipasi anyar, kanthi seniman lan komunitas melu nemtokake carane piranti kasebut digunakake.

Jurnalistik lan Media Komunitas

Redhaksi lokal lagi njajaki lan nggunakake AI kanggo nyengkuyung model bisnis anyar, nguwatake liputan, lan nggampangake warga nggoleki sarta nggunakake informasi sing bisa dipercaya. Salah siji tema sing umum ing antarane pelamar lan panampa hibah sing dipilih yaiku njajaki piranti iki kanggo nambah partisipasi lan keterlibatan warga, kalebu kanthi nerjemahake liputan supaya bisa diakses luwih akeh pamiarsa, mbukak akses menyang dokumen publik, lan mbantu warga mangerteni keputusan sing mengaruhi uripe.

Program dana iki milih nyengkuyung pakaryan kasebut kanthi hibah langsung marang maneka redhaksi lokal lan organisasi media, sarta hibah sing mbantu nggedhekake jangkauan dhukungan program iki menyang luwih akeh media. Iki kalebu organisasi kayata American Journalism Project⁠, sing nguwatake sektor pawarta lokal nirlaba kanthi nandur modal lan menehi dhukungan strategis marang jaringan redhaksi sing raket karo komunitase, sarta Colorado News Collaborative⁠, sing ngubungake 200 organisasi pawarta lokal lan ngoordinasi jaringan sinau AI ing saindenging negara bagean.

Proses Kita

Pendaftaran terbuka program dana iki nampa 1.669 lamaran saka saindenging negara. Daniel Zingale, sing nglumpukake para anggota Komisi Nirlaba OpenAI⁠, makarya bareng klompok penasihat eksternal kanggo ngrancang lan nindakake proses pambiji taun 2026. Saben lamaran sing ditampa dibiji dening pakar panyaluran hibah eksternal sing duwe pengalaman, kanthi seleksi ngutamakake kapercayan komunitas, dampak sing wis kabukten, lan pendekatan sing mateng kanggo njajaki AI.

Amarga akehe panjaluk, kita bakal nyalurake kabeh dana $50 yuta marang organisasi sing nglamar liwat pendaftaran terbuka. Kita ngarahake supaya saben hibah bisa dicairake sakabehe sadurunge pungkasan taun 2026, supaya sumber daya langsung ditampa organisasi lan bisa digunakake kanggo nerusake pakaryan sing ndhesek.
