What it reported doing in 2024
AI and Faith's essential program activities in 2024 were: 1) Increasing religious literacy among AI technology creators for inclusion of deeper faith values in tech development, as well as AI tech knowledge for faith leaders to guide their congregations, through a) providing panels, speakers and resources for a half dozen key summits and conferences (including on missional and ministry AI product development, AI innovation in three of the largest Christian Mainline denominations, generative AI and sacred scripture with the Museum of the Bible, diverse global cultural engagement in ministry at the Lausanne Congress in Seoul, and at NEURIPS); b) highlighting our experts' work in 12 monthly Newsletters and hundreds of social media posts; c) in the essay collection Faithful AI: Stories of Hope from 2045 ; and d) hosting several dozen interviews of key experts and leaders which became 25 new podcasts in our newly established AI&F podcast series. 2) Coordinating research in AI, ethics, and religion across relevant disciplines to share sophisticated knowledge around key concepts, needs, and opportunities for strengthening AI ethics through religious values in more than 80 formal and informal internal gatherings of our fellows, other experts, and partners. 3) Advancing projects on evaluating generative AI tools for religious text engagement and spiritual formation; new standards for ethical missional and ministry technologies; and engaging Faith ERGs to integrate work, faith, and AI ethics. 4) Expanding the reach of our network through 42 new experts and 8 new partner organizations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
