We are recruiting our first pilot cohort.
Pilots are free, structured around your existing programs, and include a third-party evaluation report you can use for your own reporting and accreditation needs. We do not require exclusivity, data sale, or per-seat licensing, ever.
Who we are looking for
Community colleges
Especially institutions serving Pell-eligible majorities, rural districts, or large adult-learner populations.
Workforce boards & American Job Centers
State and local boards looking to bring AI capability to case management and career navigation without enterprise pricing.
Refugee resettlement & immigrant-serving CBOs
Multilingual skills translation and credential-recognition support for newly arrived adults.
Title I high schools & minority-serving institutions
HBCUs, HSIs, TCUs, and Title I high schools interested in the Educator AI Toolkit cohort program.
Adult education & literacy programs
Especially programs serving English language learners and adults returning to education after a workforce gap.
Research universities
Methodological collaborators on independent third-party evaluations of our pilots.
From inquiry to evidence in six months.
- 130-minute scoping call to confirm fit and surface any institutional constraints.
- 2Joint pilot design: define the cohort, baseline, primary outcome, and evaluation plan.
- 3MOU executed; no fees, no data sale, no exclusivity required.
- 4Tool deployment with technical support from AI4Good (or our hosting partner).
- 5Independent third-party evaluation throughout the pilot window.
- 6Public, de-identified write-up of results; partner reviews before publication.
What you keep
- Full ownership of your learner data. We never sell it, share it, or train on it.
- All co-developed materials under permissive open licenses, so your institution can keep using them after the pilot ends.
- A formal evaluation report you can submit to your own funders, regulators, and accreditors.
- A standing invitation to co-author the public write-up of results.
Funders & in-kind supporters
Foundations, corporate giving programs, and providers of in-kind compute or hosting capacity: see our grants page for the active funding asks and a downloadable LOI template.
Pilot partner questions, answered.
- Who can pilot an AI4Good program?
- Community colleges, workforce development boards and American Job Centers, refugee resettlement agencies and immigrant-serving CBOs, Title I high schools, minority-serving institutions including HBCUs HSIs and TCUs, and adult-education programs. Research universities are eligible as evaluation collaborators.
- How much does a pilot cost the partner institution?
- Pilots are free. AI4Good Foundation does not charge fees, per-seat licenses, or program-management costs. We do ask partners to commit staff time for joint pilot design, baseline data collection, and evaluation participation.
- How long is a typical pilot?
- Six months from MOU execution to public results write-up. The process: 30-minute scoping call, joint pilot design with a primary outcome, MOU execution, tool deployment, third-party evaluation throughout, and public de-identified write-up at the end.
- Do you require exclusivity or data rights?
- No. We never require exclusivity. Partner institutions keep full ownership of all learner data. We do not sell, share, or train on learner data. Plain-language data-handling terms are written into every pilot MOU.
- Who runs the evaluation?
- An independent third-party evaluator approved by the partner institution. Primary outcomes are credential completion and relevant first-job placement, not engagement metrics. We pre-register hypotheses, sample size, and the primary outcome before data collection begins.
- What do partners keep after the pilot ends?
- All co-developed materials under permissive open licenses, a formal evaluation report suitable for funder and accreditor reporting, full learner-data ownership, and a standing invitation to co-author the public write-up of results.
