Impact Report 2025
A note from our CEO
“The AI revolution in the impact sector is not coming, it's already here. In 2025, we made a deliberate choice: to stop preparing for the future and start building it. We restructured our programs, deepened our partnerships, and raised the bar for what it means to help social impact organisations become AI-native. The changemakers we work with already have interventions that work. To scale their impact, they need more than tools. They need the strategy, the skills, the mindset and the right people beside them. That is exactly what we built this year.”
Jacek Siadkowski
CEO, Tech To The Rescue

Voices from the cohort

What changemakers are saying.

“I found the program highly valuable, offering a great opportunity to learn new things and strengthen our existing knowledge. The interaction with other participants was also very enriching, as we learned a lot from their experiences. This opportunity provided us with the tools and perspective we need to effectively integrate artificial intelligence into our project. I especially appreciated the positive energy from both the organizers and participants throughout the program, and I hope we can be considered for future programs or opportunities to present our projects."

“I've seen what happens when a nonprofit finally gets the support it deserves. The energy shifts. People who fought for years with limited resources suddenly see a clear path forward. That's what AI4Changemakers creates — not a moment of progress, but lasting change in how an organisation operates and grows."
