    Dataminr Launches Free Access to AI-Powered Real-Time Information to Aid Humanitarian Response

    By Dataminr

    Qualifying nonprofits receive three free licenses for Dataminr First Alert, providing equitable access to world-leading AI and critical event discovery

    NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dataminr, one of the world’s leading AI companies, today announced the launch of First Alert for Nonprofits, a new initiative that includes free access to Dataminr First Alert for all qualifying nonprofit organizations operating for the public benefit. The initiative aims to provide equitable access to cutting-edge AI and real-time information to enable the next generation of social impact and humanitarian response.

    Powered by advanced AI, Dataminr First Alert accelerates and informs decision-making through real-time critical event discovery. First Alert detects early indicators of crises – such as natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and armed conflicts – to enable teams to respond quickly to protect lives and communities. In total, nearly 200,000 people spanning 200 public sector and nonprofit organizations already use First Alert for critical event awareness at the speed and scale relevant to their mission.

    First Alert for Nonprofits launches at a challenging time for the humanitarian sector, as funding shortages hinder many organizations’ ability to respond to critical events. The United Nations reports that more than 300 million people worldwide are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection. Dataminr aims to help bridge this growing gap by offering qualifying nonprofits up to three free First Alert licenses per organization, empowering them with world-leading AI to stay better informed and make more confident decisions amid escalating crises.

    “As funding for humanitarian action contracts, crises are becoming more frequent and complex. Humanitarian organizations are under intense pressure to do more with less,” said Jessie End, Vice President of Social Good at Dataminr. “First Alert for Nonprofits guarantees nonprofits equitable access to advanced situational awareness tools, to keep staff safe, and to continue delivering on their missions to serve the world’s most vulnerable.”

    Real-Time Alerts That Make a Difference

    First Alert’s ability to provide early warnings has already proven critical for humanitarian organizations. First Alert kept Pact and Save the Children informed of escalating civil conflict in Sudan, helping them safely evacuate humanitarian staff; the United Nations Human Rights Office used First Alert to track election-related violence and protect UN employees in Latin America; and Catholic Relief Services leverages First Alert to navigate complex security environments in more than 100 countries, ensuring the safety of aid workers while delivering life-saving assistance to vulnerable communities.

    “First Alert is providing humanitarians working in the most difficult-to-access places in the world with the vital information we need to keep ourselves and our partners as safe as possible to reach communities in need,” said Marieke van Weerden, Senior Director Health, Safety and Security, Catholic Relief Services. “First Alert messages give us real-time information used frequently in critical decision-making to save lives. Dataminr’s support to aid worker safety makes a world of difference.”

    Built on Dataminr’s pioneering AI platform, First Alert works by discovering the earliest signals of events, risks, and public safety incidents across more than one million unique public data sources. It is powered by more than 50 proprietary LLMs, performing trillions of daily computations across billions of inputs, including images, video, sound, sensor data, and text in more than 150 languages. Humanitarian and other nonprofit organizations will now benefit, at no cost, from the same revolutionary AI used by the world’s largest multinational organizations, including half of the Fortune 100.

    “First Alert for Nonprofits is not just about providing tools, it’s about reducing barriers to critical technology for those who need it most,” added End. “Dataminr is committed to equipping nonprofit organizations with the real-time view of critical events they need to act decisively, and ultimately, save lives.”

    To be eligible for First Alert for Nonprofits, organizations must hold current 501(c)(3) status in the U.S., or their country’s equivalent, and must operate for the public benefit. To learn more about the program and apply, please visit Dataminr’s Social Good webpage.
