Mission Statement
We unlock access to cloud computing for researchers and students who need it most. By providing free and low-cost cloud access—including CPUs, GPUs, and secure storage—we empower underserved scientists, students, and citizen researchers to tackle real-world challenges, from climate change to cancer. Your support fuels discovery where it’s needed most.
About This Cause
Today, access to computing is as vital as access to books or lab space. But too many independent researchers, grad students, and citizen scientists are shut out—simply because of cost. Computing for Humanity is a Canadian nonprofit bridging the digital divide in research. We offer cloud computing services—like GPU acceleration, secure storage, and virtual research environments—at little to no cost to those left behind by traditional systems. What we offer: • Cloud-based virtual machines for data analysis, simulation, and AI • GPU access for medical research, climate modeling, and machine learning • Secure and affordable storage for research datasets and projects • Custom virtual labs for STEM learning, remote collaboration, and citizen science Some of our more notable impacts include: • Supporting a Nobel Prize winner and an Order of Canada recipient—before they won their awards—through donated compute power • Bolstering supercomputing resources at Queen’s University and McMaster University • Powering research at the Montreal Neurological Institute (The Neuro), a leader in open science and brain discovery • Contributing compute power to Mapping Cancer Markers (Krembil Research Institute, Toronto), helping identify genetic signatures for early diagnosis and personalized treatment • Supporting Rosetta@Home (University of Washington), accelerating protein folding research for disease prevention • Enabling a citizen scientist to simulate glacial melt using open-source geoscience models—only possible with our GPUs We’re also building Canada’s first public-interest research cloud: https://myresearchcloud.ca Your donation helps us: • Fund servers, storage arrays, and cybersecurity infrastructure • Sustain our green, energy-efficient cloud environments • Reach more researchers, educators, and citizen scientists across Canada When you give, you're not just donating hardware—you’re enabling breakthrough ideas that may otherwise never get the chance to shine. Let’s ensure no discovery is lost due to lack of compute.
