Meta believes that the technology we build should strengthen human connection and empower people around the world. We want to ensure the future is for everyone—giving every person the tools to reach their full potential. Today, we’re announcing the recipients of the AI Glasses Impact Grants, to provide funding to 30 organizations across the U.
S. that are using AI glasses to solve problems in their communities and industries. We launched the program in January to put nearly $2 million directly behind organizations doing this kind of work. The program offers two grant types: Accelerator Grants for organizations already scaling proven impact with AI glasses, and Catalyst Grants for developers building applications for the glasses through Meta’s Device Access Toolkit.
We selected recipients based on demonstrated impact, scalability, and relevance to areas where hands-free technology can make the biggest difference — including accessibility, workforce safety, education, agriculture, and economic opportunity. We received nearly 500 applications, and Catalyst Grant recipients will integrate their apps on Ray-Ban Meta glasses later this year — so what they build makes the glasses better for everyone.
People love their Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses and increasingly, we’re seeing why they’re not just great for day to day wear, they can be an essential tool on the job. When your work requires both hands, full attention, and real-time information – whether you’re on a ladder, under a hood, or navigating a city in a wheelchair – glasses are easier and safer to use.
Here are a few of the most innovative projects. The full cohort of recipients spans 18 states, and can be found here . https://about.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/AI-Glasses-Impact-Grants.
