Lenovo, a technology powerhouse, and ‘Tech To The Rescue’, a non-profit technology company, have partnered to provide a crucial gateway for non-profits ready to embrace AI’s (Artificial Intelligence) power but lack a clear and accessible path to resources and training.
The AI for Changemakers program aims to boost the impact of 110 innovative and impactful non-profits as they create AI solutions to enhance their work.
The new Lenovo AI for Social Impact Lab will be an essential component of Tech To The Rescue’s AI for Changemakers Accelerator Program.
AWS, Google.org, and other key partners currently support this program.
The Lenovo AI for Social Impact Lab will support ten organizations as they create solutions focused on combatting climate change and creating access to education.
The partnership is core to Lenovo’s Smarter AI for All strategy and Lenovo’s philanthropic focus on leveraging AI as a solution to humanity’s most pressing issues. By partnering with and sharing access to its skilling curriculum, Lenovo hopes to build access, understanding, and capacity for non-profits’ digital transformation while taking on core issues like climate change, loss of biodiversity, and access to education.
“The Lenovo AI for Social Impact Lab is more than just a tech boost,” shared Jacek Siadkowski, founder of Tech To The Rescue. “It brings strategic added value to Tech To The Rescue’s broader AI for Changemakers program. While the AI for Changemakers accelerator offers mentorship, strategy, and community support to help nonprofits integrate AI into their missions, the Lenovo AI for Social Impact Lab ensures that selected organizations have the cutting-edge tools and resources needed to make that integration a reality.”
“After surveying non-profits around the world, we understand that non-profit leaders want to take advantage of AI but lack the resources and training to do so,” shared Calvin J. Crosslin, President of Lenovo Foundation and Lenovo VP and Chief Diversity Officer. “As businesses and industry readily embrace AI, we need to make sure that non-profits are included and equipped for the massive transformation that AI is creating. Giving access to Tech To The Rescue’s resources and curriculum is a great next step as we continue to share access and education to AI for non-profits, and we’re thrilled to support their AI for Changemakers initiative.”
