2026 Atlassian Foundation: Call for Education Projects

The Atlassian Foundation is inviting registered nonprofits to submit proposals for projects that aim to enhance education for disadvantaged learners in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). With a total funding pool of US$8 million over two years, individual projects can receive up to US$1 million. Applications are open until 30 October 2026, 11:59 pm AEDT. The Atlassian Foundation’s initiative is focused on collective action to improve education for under-resourced communities in the AI era. The aim is to use emerging technologies to close educational gaps and provide high-quality learning opportunities. This effort seeks to create systemic change rather than just incremental improvements. Successful applicants will receive up to US$1 million over two years, along with access to a learning cohort for peer knowledge exchange. Additionally, non-financial support will be provided, including the use of Atlassian tools and expertise to further project goals. Education systems globally are under pressure to adapt to the rapid advancements in AI. This opportunity is crucial for organizations aiming to lead transformative educational projects that harness AI’s potential to expand access and enhance learning experiences for marginalized communities.
