The creator of ChatGPT has promised to donate more than $40 million to nonprofits across the country. It is the first round of philanthropy from the rebranded nonprofit arm of OpenAI.

A portion of the new funding is coming to Minnesota. Two Twin Cities-focused organizations, COPAL and Merrick Community Services, are among more than 200 recipients nationwide.

Kate Kelly is the development director of Merrick Community Services, which provides social services in St. Paul’s East Side neighborhood. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about what the organization will do with the money, including their exploration of AI as a tool for their work.
