AI for Good Lab Open Call — Washington State

AI for Good Lab Open Call — Washington State sits under Microsoft AI for Good Lab and uses Azure service credits rather than cash grants. The 2025 inaugural cycle set aside $5 million in Azure credits and selected 20 awardees for work that benefits Washington State and its residents. Eligibility in the 2025 round extended to nonprofits, academic institutions, individual researchers, startups, and businesses. The program was open to projects aligned with sustainability, public health, and human rights, and the awardees entered a two-year collaboration with Microsoft AI for Good Lab scientists. The page remains live, but no 2026 cycle had been announced as of May 2026, so the route is presently a closed cycle with future timing still unresolved. The clearest fit is for Washington-linked teams that can make effective use of cloud compute and can benefit from direct technical collaboration as well as service credits. The 2025 round also established a clear Washington-only filter, which keeps the program tightly anchored to local impact.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
