A Human-Centered Process

Our Policy Development Service is a structured, five-phase, human-centered process that guides your executive team and board—along with staff—through learning, drafting, and implementation. This process is best leveraged with a combination of in-person and virtual engagement with our team but can be adapted for a fully virtual experience if needed.

Learn & Discover

Establish baseline knowledge while listening and assessing where your team stands.

Custom
Draft

Write policies aligned to your unique mission, values, and operational needs. No tech jargon.

Review & Feedback

Manage change with guided equity checks, stakeholder input gathering, and legal review.

Alignment & Approval

Creating alignment across your board, executive team and staff ensuring formal approval.

Launch & Support

Support rollout and internal adoption. We stick with you all the way through.

Nonprofits operate in a complex and evolving environment. Our process helps you develop a Generative AI Policy that is informed by widely recognized frameworks and best practices, and adapted to your organization’s context.

FAQs

Most nonprofit boards feel behind on AI and they’re right to take it seriously. The risk is not “AI itself.” The risk is ungoverned use, unclear boundaries, and decisions made too late.

We don’t ask boards to become tech experts. We help boards do what boards do best: set clear guardrails, name risk tolerance, and approve a policy that protects the mission while giving staff a usable framework.

If your board is hesitant, that’s normal. Our process is designed to build shared language, reduce fear, and move the board from anxiety to confident oversight.
