Voluntary contribution
Participating AI services could offer subscribers an optional contribution such as $2, $5, or $10 per month.
A public-interest technology initiative
The technology of the future should not become inaccessible to the people it is intended to benefit.
Future Technology for All is developing a practical framework to help keep essential computing technology affordable and accessible as artificial intelligence drives unprecedented demand for memory, semiconductors, storage, and data-center hardware.
Status: The initiative is in its planning and framework-development stage. It is not currently accepting public donations.
Why this matters
Computers are infrastructure for everyday life.
Computers are essential tools for employment, education, communication, financial services, government access, small business, creativity, and increasingly for using artificial intelligence itself.
At the same time, rapid expansion of AI infrastructure can create enormous demand for the same categories of memory, semiconductor capacity, storage, and related technology used in ordinary computers. Future Technology for All was created around a simple principle: technological progress should expand opportunity without making the hardware needed to participate increasingly unreachable for ordinary people.
The core proposal
A voluntary way for AI users and AI companies to invest in broader technology access.
The initial concept is simple enough to explain, but the operating framework is being developed carefully before outreach begins.
Company participation
Participating companies could match some or all of those contributions, or use another approved funding model.
Invest in supply first
The core priority would be projects that expand production or availability of consumer-relevant memory, semiconductor capacity, storage, and related computing technology.
Measure public benefit
Funding would be tied to transparent requirements, independent oversight, and measurable outcomes for consumers and communities.
Illustrative scale: One million users voluntarily contributing $5 per month would generate $60 million per year before any company matching contribution.
Operating framework in development
The goal is not just to have an idea. It is to build a model that could actually work.
Future Technology for All is developing a detailed operating framework covering funding architecture, company participation, governance, financial controls, independent review, eligible uses, pilot design, impact measurement, and safeguards against conflicts of interest.
Before broad outreach to major technology companies, the framework will be reviewed and refined so potential partners have something concrete to evaluate rather than a general request for support.
A deliberate approach
Public presence now. Fundraising later.
This website exists to establish the initiative publicly, explain the proposal, document its development, and invite thoughtful discussion. Future Technology for All is intentionally not accepting direct public donations during this early stage.
If the initiative develops the appropriate nonprofit structure, governance, accounting controls, and donation-processing systems, direct public support may become an option in a future phase.
Founder story
An idea from an ordinary technology user.
Future Technology for All was founded in 2026 by Tress Schuyler, a working father with an IT background who became concerned that the infrastructure boom supporting artificial intelligence could contribute to higher consumer computer-hardware costs and make participation in the digital future harder for lower-income households.
AI tools, including ChatGPT, have been used to help research questions, organize the concept, draft planning materials, develop branding, and turn an individual concern into a structured public-interest initiative. The project itself is an example of how AI can help ordinary people develop and communicate ideas that might otherwise never reach the organizations capable of acting on them.
Founder & Executive Director: Tress Schuyler
“Technological advancement and technological access should grow together.”
