A diverse range of organisations are eligible to apply for support, including charitable nonprofits, public interest organisations, social enterprises, civic institutions, municipalities, labour unions, professional bodies, and associations that reach out to and support workers impacted by AI-driven workforce transitions. Applicants should have a mission to support workers as part of their core activities and a proven track record of reaching and running programs for workers. For profit entities without a social impact purpose are not eligible for this fund.
Organisations registered and operating in any market in the Asia Pacific region are eligible to apply.
You can only apply as a single organisation. One organisation can only submit one application. However, partnerships in project implementation are permitted.
In identifying successful grantees, we will be looking at the organisation’s eligibility and alignment to the key criteria and impact areas that have been outlined. More specifically, the application form requires you to provide information about your organisation and your solution across the following criteria:
• Organisation’s Track Record
• Training Program’s feasibility, scalability, and sustainability
