Patrick J. McGovern Foundation

The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation (PJMF) is a $1.5 billion philanthropic organization that invests in artificial intelligence (AI) and data science for public purpose. Over the past decade, it has deployed over $500 million toward AI as public infrastructure. The foundation advocates for governing AI as a long-term civic infrastructure shaped by democratic institutions and civil society, rather than solely by private tech companies. PJMF focuses on applying technology to challenges in climate resilience, human rights, media and journalism, crisis response, digital literacy, and health equity. It emphasizes "IDEA" principles (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) and advocates for nonprofits to serve as "data guardians" that protect the data and agency of vulnerable populations. Beyond financial support, the foundation provides in-house technical teams to advise grantees on data governance, risk assessment, and model evaluation.
