Overview

Grants for nonprofits
Our goal is to empower nonprofit organizations to prioritize technology as a mission-critical component of their projects by providing support for organizations pursuing technology-driven goals. As part of the program, we are seeking proposals for pilot projects, proofs of concept, or existing programs that utilize technology in a new or expanded way.
AWS Imagine Grant in the U.S.
AWS Imagine Grant offers three distinct award categories for 501 (c) nonprofits based in the United States to receive support based on their organizational goals and the stage in their technology adoption journeys.
The Pathfinder Award
The Pathfinder award will provide support for groundbreaking, mission-critical projects at the frontier of artificial intelligence encompassing a wide range of applications, such as generative AI, agentic AI, and autonomous systems. Pathfinder projects will have the potential to produce scaled, repeatable solutions that directly accelerate mission achievement and may impact an industry or field. Projects in the Pathfinder category may include service types mentioned in the Go Further, Faster and Momentum to Modernize awards, but must include the use of frontier AI capabilities such as generative AI, agentic AI, or autonomous AI as a core workload within the grant term (i.e. one year upon award). The Pathfinder award is designed for organizations with a strong data practice who are already in the planning phase of their projects.
