There is brilliance in difference.
The Different Foundation celebrates the kaleidoscope of human diversity.
We champion equality and inclusion not as buzzwords, but as the bedrock of innovation.
Where others see differences as divisions, we see them as our greatest collective strength.
We exist to:
1
Embrace Diversity
Honour the full spectrum of human experience and identity.
2
Empower the Underrepresented
Break barriers and create pathways where doors have been closed.
3
Shape an Inclusive Future
Architect a world where belonging isn't a privilege but a birthright.
AI For All: Our Flagship Program
AI represents humanity's next great leap – but who writes the code shapes who benefits. We're ensuring that AI's transformative power isn't concentrated but democratised, with diversity woven into its very architecture.
Our AI For All program operates with deliberate duality:
Financial Support
We provide targeted grants up to £2,500 for smaller UK charities (£150K-£1.15M turnover) advancing inclusive AI initiatives. We seek to promote access and opportunity for members of underrepresented and diverse communities in AI innovation. Our quarterly funding rounds support organisations committed to diversity in technology.
Expert Mentorship
Beyond financial support, we connect funded partners with respected leaders in AI. This mentorship provides practical guidance to enhance impact, improve program delivery, and strengthen organisational capabilities.
Together, funding and mentorship create something greater than their parts – a foundation for meaningful change and sustainable impact.
Explore our 2025/2026 focus: addressing digital bias, elevating diverse voices, and developing AI that works for everyone.
