Description
The AWS Imagine Grant supports registered nonprofit organizations using cloud technology to accelerate their missions. Amazon Web Services seeks proposals for pilot projects, proofs of concept, and existing programs that use technology in new or expanded ways. The program aims to make technology a mission-critical component of nonprofit work across diverse causes and mission areas, combining financial support, cloud resources, implementation guidance, and training.
The U.S. program offers three categories reflecting different stages of technology adoption. Pathfinder supports projects using frontier artificial intelligence. Go Further, Faster backs innovative cloud projects with potential for scalable, repeatable solutions and broader impact on an industry or field. Momentum to Modernize supports foundational technology projects that enhance core mission operations, including application development, migration, data centralization, and infrastructure expansion.
