The Accelerator program offers pro bono technical assistance for nonprofits, technical training, and access to free Google Cloud credits to help participants harness the power of Google Cloud Platform’s AI & ML tools, including Vertex AI and Gemini. These resources empower organizations to develop innovative projects that align with Google’s focus on social good and drive impactful change in areas like education, economic opportunity, and crisis response.

Participants will engage in a 6-month program that includes mentorship and generative AI training for nonprofits, culminating in a Demo Day where they will present their prototypes to key stakeholders. Funding from the program can be utilized over 30 months, covering prototype development during the Accelerator and supporting the launch and scaling of projects afterward.
