VOL_01 / 2026 Support the work

Catalytic capital, against capture.

The Alliance runs on aligned funding. The work — counter-party tracker, regulatory desk, research network, fellowships — does not staff itself.

// 01
Status

Fiscal sponsor announcement forthcoming.

AIPIA is in the founding stage. A fiscal sponsorship arrangement is being finalized so that institutional grants and major gifts can be received under a 501(c)(3) before AIPIA's own permanent status is established.

Once the fiscal sponsor is signed, this page will host the donation form, recurring giving options, and donor-advised-fund instructions. Major gifts and institutional grants will be processed through the sponsor's IRS letter; donors receive a tax-deductible acknowledgment from the sponsoring organization.

If you are a foundation program officer or a major donor interested in early conversation while the sponsorship is being finalized, please write directly to funders@aipublicinterest.org. We can share AIPIA's mission statement, theory of change, and twelve-month operating budget on request.

Where the money goes

Four work streams. Capital allocation, transparently.

[ 01 ]

Counter-party tracker staffing

Researchers and FOIA-experienced analysts to maintain the tracker, file public-records requests, and produce the quarterly report.

[ 02 ]

Policy desk

A staffed desk that drafts regulatory comments, builds the amicus brief co-signing program, and runs legislator briefings on public-interest AI.

[ 03 ]

Research network

Coordination across member institutions; commissioning of the annual State of Public-Interest AI report; convening of funder roundtables.

[ 04 ]

Fellowships

Underwriting fellowships for builders in the AI for Planet catalog — direct support to the people producing the constructive alternative.

Tell us when you're ready.

Funder conversations are open even before the donation infrastructure is complete. The work is shaped by who builds it with us.
