One million — that’s the amount Google.org announced in funding to the Central Carolina Community Foundation to help equip over 20 SC nonprofits, including several in the Midlands, with artificial intelligence skills.
The donation supports the AI Opportunity Fund’s goal to train over one million Americans in AI technology. Local organizations like Harvest Hope, Turn90, The Therapy Place, and Senior Resources will benefit from tailored programming that includes in-person workshops, coaching, and peer-learning networks.
The initiative kicked off with a Discovery Day event and is powered by Project Evident, a nonprofit helping local groups put AI to work. “This support will allow nonprofits to harness the power of AI to improve their efficiency, focus on their missions, and impact even more people in our community,” said Rep. Seth Rose, who represents part of Richland County.
