The Agency Fund is a US-based nonprofit innovation lab that operates at the intersection of software, artificial intelligence, social psychology, and development economics. Its mission is to advance human development and social mobility by harnessing the science of human agency. The organization combines resources from multiple donors into pooled funds and actively builds projects, working to discover innovations, accelerate promising interventions, and mobilize partnerships across nonprofit, policy, academic, and industry sectors.
The organization maintains a small, global team that collaborates with a range of partner organizations. Its work is distinguished by a multidisciplinary approach that integrates technical expertise with insights from the behavioral sciences, aiming to produce interventions grounded in rigorous evidence about what drives individual and collective agency.
