Perhaps obvious question - but have you tried approaching the Gates foundation? They are more concerned with sorting the issues of inequality. Or, to be slightly obtuse, have you tried approaching Elon Musk for funding? Perhaps he'll be a bit more flush with cash once the Model 3's start rolling out the door and he'll have another billion around to donate. One of Musk's OpenAI principles was trying to democratise AI and that sounds pretty much exactly like what you're doing.
