GIVING BACK
Gifts for Good 2026:
Curated Gifts and Experiences for Human Flourishing in the Age of AI
We are pleased to present this year’s Gifts for Good guide, curated by the Morgan Stanley Philanthropy Management team. This year’s guide celebrates organizations and enterprises helping individuals and communities adapt, grow and thrive in a rapidly changing world shaped by technological innovation, including artificial intelligence (AI).
As AI continues to transform how we learn, work and connect, investing in human potential has never been more important. The featured gifts, experiences and resources spotlight nonprofits and mission-driven companies that expand access to education, strengthen workforce pathways, support entrepreneurship and foster mentorship. Together, they help people build the skills, relationships and sense of direction needed to flourish alongside innovation.
From programs that prepare young people for the future of work, to organizations that help entrepreneurs strengthen their communities and gifts that support access, opportunity and belonging, this guide offers meaningful ways to give back during the holiday season. Each featured organization reflects the belief that technology’s greatest promise is realized when people are equipped to participate in, shape and benefit from progress.
