Hi all,
The AI for Math fund
<https://www.renaissancephilanthropy.org/ai-for-math-fund>is excited to
announce a new funding round for 2026, with $10.5 million available to
support projects applying artificial intelligence and machine learning
methods to advance mathematical research.
We are seeking proposals across six themes:
-
Assistance – Tools that support mathematicians in formalization and
research
-
Automation – Systems that streamline key proving and workflow tasks
-
Datasets – Formalized mathematics and structured data for training and
evaluation
-
Infrastructure – Interfaces, benchmarks, and connective technical
components
-
Field-Building – Initiatives that grow the ecosystem and lower barriers
to entry
-
Foundational Research – Novel ideas that could unlock the next wave of
innovation
Individual grants will range from $100K to $1M and support 12-24 months of
work. We welcome proposals at a range of maturity levels, including
exploratory ideas, feature builds, and more developed infrastructure
projects.
