About Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) funds nonprofits and research groups that use cloud infrastructure, data analytics, and generative AI to accelerate mission impact—prioritizing projects that modernize operations, scale service delivery, or produce repeatable technology solutions. Their flagship AWS Imagine Grant awards both cash and AWS promotional credits plus technical support, with special tracks for generative AI, pediatric health innovation, and field‑level/cloud‑native pilots. AWS also provides ongoing small-to-medium cloud credits through partner channels to help organizations adopt and test AWS services globally.
