We're partnering with nonprofits to eliminate communication barriers and empower the world through audio.
At ElevenLabs, we drive social good through AI audio. Our Impact Program partners with nonprofits to provide free licenses for projects in accessibility, education, and culture. We aim to enable 1 million voices to communicate and learn without barriers. If your nonprofit could benefit from AI audio, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s create a world where every voice makes a difference.
In August 2024, ElevenLabs launched an initiative to support those struggling with aphasia by providing free licenses to ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and MND (Motor Neuron Disease) patients. We are proud to now extend this offering to individuals with MSA (Multiple System Atrophy) and mouth cancer. We are excited to continue expanding eligibility as we work toward our goal of reaching one million people.
When U.S. Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton began losing her voice due to Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), it seemed like the end of her ability to communicate in her own words. The standard robotic voice wasn’t just limiting—it felt like a loss of identity. But with ElevenLabs' technology, everything changed. By recreating her voice as it sounded before her diagnosis, Congresswoman Wexton became the first lawmaker to deliver a House floor speech powered by AI, proving that even at the top of their field, people can overcome incredible challenges with the right tools.
At just 34, motor neuron disease (MND) left Sarah without a voice and the use of her hands. The diagnosis came only months after she became a mother for the second time. As her children, Aviva and Eric, grew up, they only ever heard her speak through a machine that produced a flat, robotic voice. Now, 25 years later, ElevenLabs has recreated Sarah’s natural voice—using only eight seconds of audio pulled from an old VHS tape. Today, Sarah communicates using eye-gaze technology, which tracks her eye movements as she selects letters on a screen in front of her.
