forwa is a free support program for 15 nonprofits in the fields of education and employment across Europe.
It helps them put AI to work to increase their impact
with careful attention to ethical and environmental considerations.
Nonprofits are a pillar of European society, playing a vital role in tackling inequalities in education and employment. Digital and AI hold real potential for social impact, but only when they're built around the needs of these organisations and the people they serve.
Too many nonprofits still can't fully benefit from these technologies, lacking the digital culture, technical skills and financial ressources to do so effectively.
That's why Share it created forwa: to help close that gap and support nonprofits in exploring and developing AI solutions in line with their missions and their values.
