Responsible AI for Nonprofits

AI is already here.
The question is whether your leadership is guiding it well.

Most nonprofits are reacting to AI rather than leading it. Staff are using tools without clear guidance. Policies are drafted but not lived. And leadership is left managing risk they can't fully see.

We help nonprofit leaders build the internal capacity to engage AI with clarity, trust, and discipline. Not as a one-time project, but as an ongoing practice.

UNSURE WHERE TO START?

What Makes TCC Different

Most AI consulting helps organizations adopt tools.


We help leadership teams guide them responsibly.


That distinction matters. AI is not primarily a technology question. It is a leadership question. The real challenge is whether your organization has the visibility, shared norms, and internal discipline to use AI in ways that protect trust, support your people, and align with your mission.


That is what we build with you.

Choose Your Path

We offer three ways to engage, depending on where your organization is and what it needs most.

Best for: Organizations ready for ongoing support, training, and leadership guidance


What it is: An annual engagement that embeds AI into your organization through structured training, ongoing co-learning conversations, and advisory support.


Outcome: A living practice that builds visibility, strengthens decision-making, and allows your organization to engage AI responsibly over time

The Policy Lab

Best for: Organizations that want to build a strong policy foundation alongside peers

​​

What it is: A guided, cohort-based experience that helps your organization develop a credible, practical AI policy while learning in community with other nonprofit leaders.

​​

Outcome: A board-ready policy, shared language across your team, and a clear starting point for responsible use

Custom Governance

Best for: Organizations with greater complexity that want a fully tailored approach

​

What it is: A white-glove engagement that includes custom policy development, leadership alignment, and implementation of a full Responsible AI Practice.


Outcome: End-to-end governance, from policy through practice, designed specifically for your organization

Responsible AI Practice

Annual Engagement. Our Primary Service.

For organizations ready to build and sustain a Responsible AI Practice over time.


This is not a training event or a policy document. It is an annual engagement designed to embed ongoing learning, leadership visibility, and shared governance into how your organization operates.


What's included in the baseline engagement:

  • Two foundational AI trainings for staff and leadership

  • Three Practice Review Conversations (PRCs) — structured sessions to surface what's emerging, reflect on use, and calibrate your approach

  • Ongoing advisory support for leadership decisions as they arise

​

Add-ons available: additional PRC series, policy development, board training, executive sessions, department workshops.

It is a lived leadership practice.

The Policy Lab

A Cohort Experience

For organizations that want to build a credible AI policy foundation alongside peers.

​

The Policy Lab is a guided cohort experience that helps your organization develop a practical, board-ready AI policy while learning in community with other nonprofit leaders. You leave with shared language, leadership alignment, and a clear foundation for responsible use.

​

Best for: Organizations earlier in their AI governance journey who want peer learning built into the process.

Custom Governance

A White-Glove Engagement

For organizations with greater complexity, higher risk environments, or board-level governance needs that require a fully tailored approach.


This engagement includes custom policy development, leadership alignment, and full implementation of a Responsible AI Practice designed specifically for your organization.


Best for: Larger organizations, higher-stakes environments, or situations where off-the-shelf frameworks aren't enough.
