AI For Good Fund - Take Survey Now
Discovery of AI for the nonprofit, social enterprise, community, and voluntary sectors in Ireland
The AI for Good Fund is a capacity-building initiative to empower the nonprofit, social enterprise, community, and voluntary sectors, with the outcome of amplifying missions, strengthening communities, and advancing social innovation across Ireland.
This new initiative, with support from Google.org and the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, will build pathways for responsible AI learning and adoption in Ireland. This is a €1.5 million total investment, with €750,000 matched by the government via the Dormant Accounts Fund.
Rethink Ireland, in partnership with Project Evident, is excited to lead this work. Project Evident, based in the U.S., brings expertise in technology, philanthropy, policy and social innovation via their OutcomesAI practice. Through this collaboration, we will better understand and improve data-driven impact, decision-making, and resource allocation that advances responsible and equitable AI adoption in Ireland.
AI Discovery Survey
Take Survey HERE or Take Survey ‘as Gaeilge’ HERE
We want to hear from you on how best to tailor this project to harness AI in ethical, inclusive and impactful ways, to suit your needs.
This survey asks about your organisation profile, your current level of AI knowledge, understanding, and adoption in the workplace setting, and provides space for questions about AI technology that you might have.
Your invaluable responses will help us discover priority needs and identify overall trends, informing capacity-building resources which we will develop to support the nonprofit and social enterprise sectors over the coming months.
At the end of the survey, you will have the exclusive opportunity to register interest for “Discovery Days,” a series of free, experiential AI learning workshops to be held nationwide across Ireland in 2026.
The survey should take no longer than approx. 5 minutes to complete. It will remain open until 15 April 2026 at 11:59pm local Ireland time.
All information will be kept confidential. Any analyses shared will be at the aggregated level and not attributed to a specific organisation.
If you have any questions or encounter issues with the survey, please contact us at aiforgood@rethinkireland.ie.
