The Out in AI Build Lab pairs LGBTQ+ nonprofits and community organizations with volunteer builders who donate their time and skills. No cost, no grant application, no catch — just community members who want to help.
Tell us what your organization needs — a website, an internal tool, automation, anything technical. Takes about five minutes, and it's free.
We pair your project with volunteer engineers, designers, and product people from the Out in AI community who have the right skills.
Working software, built and supported by the community — not a prototype that gets abandoned after a weekend.
Yes. Out in AI builders volunteer their time and skills. You never pay for the work itself — there's no invoice, no hidden tier, no upsell.
We prioritize LGBTQ+ organizations and community groups, or nonprofits serving the LGBTQ+ community. If you're unsure whether you qualify, submit anyway and we'll let you know.
It varies by project scope and volunteer availability. Small projects can move in weeks; larger builds take longer since this is volunteer-powered, not a paid vendor engagement.
Tell us in your submission. Some projects are one-time builds; others get an ongoing volunteer team depending on interest and availability.
