“The City AI Foundation is a global, active organization run and driven by volunteers mostly. With a truly decentralized operational structure, our active ambassadors are bringing City AI’s activities and vision into more than 70 cities in over 50 countries to date and therefore are the backbone of its success. Volunteers are taking care of the development of their local AI ecosystem under City AI’s mission of enabling a diverse and responsible development and application of artificial intelligence (AI), but also shaping the development and activities of City AI forward as a whole. This will result in AI fulfilling the real social needs of humanity and our world reflecting each and everyone’s cultural, educational and environmental backgrounds.
The pace of AI impacting our lives is accelerating almost exponentially. Therefore City AI’s volunteers need professional support to become more effective. Please read the provided information below to ensure you understand each donations use and how it will impact the goal of the City AI Foundation. As of today, City AI has co-organized 250+ awareness events, developed and run various education workshops and formats, been active in bringing AI stakeholders together worldwide, launched global initiatives such as the AI Ecosystem Wiki, and is working on various activity stream increasing the impact of AI practitioners collaborating on general issues faced by the development and application of AI.
It would be great if the City.AI Foundation could get your support too. Thanks”

Donation Usage
Technology: Servers, bandwidth, maintenance, development. The City AI Foundation is one of the largest AI community platform in the world, and it runs on a fraction of what other top websites spend.
People and Projects: The City AI Foundation is run mostly by volunteers from all around the world. Nevertheless, operations need to be managed full-time and require highly skilled and motivated people. The City AI Foundation is therefore running a small team and working with contractors to support a wide variety of projects, making your donation a great investment in a highly-efficient not-for-profit organization.
