Patrick McGovern Foundation

Patrick J. McGovern Foundation is committed to bridging the frontiers of artificial intelligence, data science, and social impact. In partnership with leading global social change organizations, innovators, and fellow philanthropies, our work spans the application of these technologies in digital health, climate change, information technology, neuroscience, educating future generations of technologists, and empowering vulnerable communities. Our early investments in these spaces demonstrated the transformative power of AI and data science to build more equitable and reliable systems, increase participation and human connection, and democratize resources. These experiences shape our conviction that a robust and inclusive ecosystem is essential to achieve this technology’s greatest promise. Our work focuses on bringing together academia, practitioners, and civil society to pursue the potential of AI and data science for shared and greater good.
