Turn.io PBC funds and accelerates organizations that build AI- and chat-based digital services (especially WhatsApp-based) to improve health, education, and economic mobility in low-resource settings. They run cohort-based accelerators that combine technology access, funding, mentorship and implementation support to help nonprofits and social enterprises scale conversational services and generate evidence of impact. Turn.io prioritizes projects that deploy generative AI/LLM safety practices, behavioral-science-informed messaging, and measurable outcomes for maternal & child health, mental health, learning, vaccines and livelihoods in the Global South.
Cohort-based accelerator grants and in-kind technology support; funding ranges from small seed awards (~$25,000) up to larger scaling grants (up to $500,000). Programs are application- and cohort-driven with periodic competitive deadlines (invite/selection to 6–24 week programs), plus mentorship and technology access rather than open rolling general grants.

Watch for announced accelerator cohorts (Chat for Health/Chat for Impact/Chat for Learning) and apply during the published window; programs are competitive and cohort-specific so prepare a concise proposal showing: (1) clear use of conversational/WhatsApp + AI, (2) evidence or plan for impact measurement, (3) focus on low-resource/Global South deployment, and (4) technical readiness to integrate with turn.io. Typical award sizes and timelines are listed on cohort pages—previous deadlines have fallen in mid-year (e.g., July) so monitor their site and sign up for cohort announcements.
