The Rockefeller Foundation and OpenAI Foundation are committing $50 million to help cities worldwide harness AI to improve public health, economic mobility, environmental resilience, and civic engagement. Applications are now open for the global call for proposals.
For all of us, electricity powers opportunity, dignity, and security in the 21st century. With 730 million people still living without access to electricity, we are making a big bet with partners to electrify 1 billion people, including 300 million in Africa by 2030.
We are what we eat. Yet for too many, our diets are not enough to sustain us. In the U.S., chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease affect an estimated 133 million Americans, driving our work with partners on a big bet to scale Food is Medicine programs nationwide. Globally, over 300 million school-aged children lack access to a nutritious meal, despite school meals providing up to a 35x return on investment as the world’s most extensive social safety net. We’re collaborating to help 100 million children get access to nutritious, sustainable school meals. Good food is good for patients, students, farmers, and many more.
Right now, more than 50 million Americans live in communities where employment lags the national average — and AI will soon upend the economy. With partners and in communities, we are working to help create 1.6 million additional jobs across 250 of America’s most distressed communities.
