Partnerships
Partner with AI for Good Aotearoa
We work with organisations who share our belief that AI should serve people, communities, and the planet. If your kaupapa is grounded in public benefit, ethical practice, and the "do no harm" principle, we'd love to talk.
Why partner with us
AI for Good Aotearoa is a community-led platform connecting educators, technologists, iwi, public sector teams, and changemakers building AI that genuinely helps Aotearoa.
Reach a values-aligned audience
Connect with people who care about ethical, responsible AI, including educators, students, founders, public sector leaders, and community organisations across the motu.
Back work that matters
Support initiatives selected for clear public benefit, transparency, and community consent. Your contribution goes directly into learning, events, and on-the-ground impact.
Show your commitment publicly
Stand alongside organisations choosing the harder, more responsible path on AI. Visibility on the directory, at events, and in our communications.
Co-design, don't just sponsor
Partners help shape learning content, events, and outreach. We treat you as a collaborator in the kaupapa, not a logo on a banner.
Aotearoa first
We centre Aotearoa New Zealand: te ao Māori perspectives, regional reach beyond the main centres, and the realities of small organisations adopting AI well.
Practical, not performative
Tutorials, learning pathways, events, and stories that move people from curious to capable. We measure success in what people do next.
Who we partner with
We work across sectors. What unites our partners is intent: AI used responsibly, in service of people and place.
Education and learning
Universities, polytechnics, schools, EdTech, and learning communities helping people build AI literacy and capability across Aotearoa.
Iwi, hapū, and Māori-led organisations
Partners shaping AI from a te ao Māori lens, including data sovereignty, mātauranga, and community-led innovation.
Public sector and civic tech
Central and local government teams, NGOs, and civic technologists using AI to improve services, transparency, and trust.
Industry and technology
Companies and platforms committed to responsible AI practice, from startups to enterprises, who want to walk the talk publicly.
Community and not-for-profit
Charities, social enterprises, and community organisations using AI to amplify their impact while protecting the people they serve.
Environmental and climate
Groups applying AI to climate resilience, conservation, biodiversity, and sustainable systems for Aotearoa and the Pacific.
Ways to partner
Partnerships are tailored. These are the most common shapes a relationship takes. We're happy to mix and match.
Community impact partner
Long-term partners who back the kaupapa across the year. Visibility on the home page and partners page, recognition at events, and a co-developed plan focused on community outcomes.
Learning partner
Co-create learning content, tutorials, or pathways. Ideal for educators, EdTech, and organisations with subject-matter expertise to share with the wider community.
Event partner
Support a specific meetup, workshop, or hui. Speaking opportunities, venue or hosting collaborations, and access to a values-aligned audience.
Initiative or programme partner
Back a specific initiative on the directory, an AI for Good challenge, or a focused programme of work. Outcome-based and time-bound.
Media and content partner
Help us tell the stories that matter, through cross-publishing, podcasts, video, or distribution to your audience.
In-kind partner
Contribute services, infrastructure, venues, software, or expert time. Practical support is often the most valuable kind.
What we ask of partners
We're a values-led community, so partnership is mutual. Every partner we work with is asked to:
- Operate with integrity and transparency in how they build, use, or talk about AI.
- Respect the "do no harm" principle, including privacy, safety, fairness, and accountability.
- Support, rather than substitute for, community voice and consent, particularly when working with Māori and Pacific communities.
- Be willing to share what they learn, including what didn't work, so others benefit.
- Engage as a collaborator. We don't sell logo placement, we build relationships.
We reserve the right to decline partnerships that don't align with our kaupapa, even when the offer is generous.
Our partners
We're grateful to the organisations standing alongside us. Their support makes the work real.
Let's build something good
