OpenAI Foundation Invests $40.5 Million in U.S. Nonprofits

The OpenAI Foundation has made a significant philanthropic move, pledging $40.5 million to support 208 US nonprofits. This donation marks the largest external commitment by the artificial intelligence giant and aims to advance opportunities in AI, particularly through education and economic empowerment. Despite this notable expenditure, it remains a small portion of the foundation’s recently-restructured equity value of approximately $130 billion. Last year, the OpenAI Foundation made a smaller donation of $7.5 million, as revealed in a recent tax filing.
