Support Human Creativity in the AI Era with Open Funding

Overview

Open Funding is a community driven effort to preserve human creativity in the AI era. This page explains how donations support ongoing work that centers artists, researchers, educators, and practitioners who shape culture with intention and care. By sustaining a transparent, collaborative space, we aim to balance innovation with accountability and open access to learning and tools.

Through Open Funding, collaboration is the core value. We seek to empower makers who explore new forms of expression while ensuring that creative labor remains visible, valued, and accessible to everyone—regardless of location or background. The focus is practical progress, steady momentum, and a durable path forward for creative practice in a changing technological landscape.

Contributions enable continued development of open resources, mentorship programs, and accessible workshops that connect creators with peers and mentors around the world.

With your help, Open Funding can strengthen opportunities for emerging artists and researchers to experiment with AI tools without losing control of their process. The initiative is designed to be inclusive, collaborative, and enduring—so that experimentation remains a shared human endeavor, guided by ethical considerations and a respect for diverse voices.
